From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: page-flags: define behavior SL*B-related flags on compound pages
SL*B uses compound pages and marks head pages with PG_slab.
__SetPageSlab() and __ClearPageSlab() are never called for tail pages.
The same situation with PG_slob_free in SLOB allocator.
PF_NO_TAIL is appropriate for these flags.
