[RFC V2] mm: add the zero case to page[1].compound_nr in set_compound_order

[Nico Pache]

Since commit 1378a5ee451a ("mm: store compound_nr as well as
compound_order") the page[1].compound_nr must be explicitly set to 0 if
calling set_compound_order(page, 0).

This can lead to bugs if the caller of set_compound_order(page, 0) forgets
to explicitly set compound_nr=0. An example of this is commit ba9c1201beaa
("mm/hugetlb: clear compound_nr before freeing gigantic pages")

Collapse these calls into the set_compound_order by utilizing branchless
bitmaths [1].

V2: slight changes to commit log and remove extra '//' in the comments
