Slab pages can be compound, but we shouldn't threat them as THP for
pupose of hpage_* helpers, otherwise it would lead to confusing results.

For instance, ext4 uses slab pages for journal pages and we shouldn't
confuse them with THPs. The easiest way is to exclude them in hpage_*
helpers.
Well ... I think we should just deal with compound pages instead of just
huge or regular.  So I'm deferring comment on this patch.
