[PATCH 09 of 66] clear compound mapping

[Andrea Arcangeli]

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Clear compound mapping for anonymous compound pages like it already happens for
regular anonymous pages. But crash if mapping is set for any tail page, also
the PageAnon check is meaningless for tail pages. This check only makes sense
for the head page, for tail page it can only hide bugs and we definitely don't
want to hide bugs.
