Maybe it is better to call uncharge_common from the compound destructor,
so we can have all the uncharge code in a single place.

PageHuge is not represented by a page flags as SwapCache. Hence I was
not able to call uncharge_common from compound destructor. For
SwapCache, we clear the flag and call uncharge_common again. Also I will
have to update those functions to take the resource counter index as
argument so that we end up updated the right resource counter in the
counter array. That would result in more code changes and I was not sure
about that.
