[25/41] compound pages: Allow use of get_page_unless_zero with compound pages

[Christoph Lameter]

This is needed by slab defragmentation. The refcount of a page head
may be incremented to ensure that a compound page will not go away under us.

It also may be needed for defragmentation of higher order pages. The
moving of compound pages may require the establishment of a reference
before the use of page migration functions.
