mm/mm_init: make memmap_init_compound() look more like prep_compound_page()

Grepping for "prep_compound_page" leaves on clueless how devdax gets its
compound pages initialized.

Let's add a comment that might help finding this open-coded
prep_compound_page() initialization more easily.

Further, let's be less smart about the ordering of initialization and just
perform the prep_compound_head() call after all tail pages were
initialized: just like prep_compound_page() does.

No need for a comment to describe the initialization order: again, just
like prep_compound_page().
