THP split makes non-atomic change of tail page flags. This is almost ok because tail pages are locked and isolated but this breaks recent changes in page locking: non-atomic operation could clear bit PG_waiters. As a result concurrent sequence get_page_unless_zero() -> lock_page() might block forever. Especially if this page was truncated later. Fix is trivial: clone flags before unfreezing page reference counter. This race exists since commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit") while unsave unfreeze itself was added in commit 8df651c7 ("thp: cleanup split_huge_page()"). clear_compound_head() also must be called before unfreezing page reference because after successful get_page_unless_zero() might follow put_page() which needs correct compound_head(). And replace page_ref_inc()/page_ref_add() with page_ref_unfreeze() which is made especially for that and has semantic of smp_store_release().
