[PATCH] mm: sl[auo]b: Use atomic bit operations to update page-flags.

[Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Transparent huge pages can change page->flags (PG_compound_lock)
without taking Slab lock. So sl[auo]b need to use atomic bit
operation while changing page->flags.
Specificly this patch fixes race between compound_unlock and slab
functions which does page-flags update. This can occur when
get_page/put_page is called on page from slab object.
