On 64 bit system we have enough space in struct page to encode
compound_dtor and compound_order with unsigned int.
On x86-64 it leads to slightly smaller code size due usesage of plain
MOV instead of MOVZX (zero-extended move) or similar effect.

159520382 48146736 72196096 279863214 10ae5fae vmlinux.post
On other architectures without native support of 16-bit data types the
difference can be bigger.
