mm: fix assertion
This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is freed, then reallocated as a compound page). It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.
