[PATCHv2 2/4] zsmalloc: use page->private instead of page->first_page

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

We are going to rework how compound_head() work. It will not use
page->first_page as we have it now.

The only other user of page->fisrt_page beyond compound pages is
zsmalloc.

Let's use page->private instead of page->first_page here. It occupies
the same storage space.
