Subject[PATCH RFC v2 1/3] mm: Add TAIL_MAPPING_REUSED_MAX
Date
Tail pages have a sanity check on ->mapping fields, not all of them but
only upon index>2. It's because we reused ->mapping fields of the tail
pages index=0,1 for other things.

Define a macro for "max index of tail pages that got ->mapping field
reused" on top of folio definition, because when we grow folio tail pages
we'd want to boost this too together.
