This reverts commit 9857a17f.

That commit was completely broken, and I should have caught on to it
earlier.  But happily, the kernel test robot noticed the breakage fairly
quickly.

The breakage is because "try_get_page()" is about avoiding the page
reference count overflow case, but is otherwise the exact same as a
plain "get_page()".

In contrast, "try_get_compound_head()" is an entirely different beast,
and uses __page_cache_add_speculative() because it's not just about the
page reference count, but also about possibly racing with the underlying
page going away.

So all the commentary about how

 "try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance,
  try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more
  thoroughly"

was just completely wrong: yes, try_get_compound_head() handles
speculative page references, but the point is that try_get_page() does
not, and must not...
