[05/18] Page flags: Add PageVcompound()

[Christoph Lameter]

Add a another page flag that can be used to figure out if a compound
page is virtually mapped. The mark is necessary since we have to know
when freeing pages if we have to destroy a virtual mapping. No additional
flag is consumed through the use of PG_swapcache together with PG_compound
(similar to PageHead() and PageTail()).
