KPF_THP can be set on non-huge compound pages like slab pages, because
PageTransCompound only sees PG_head and PG_tail. Obviously this is a bug
and breaks user space applications which look for thp via /proc/kpageflags.
This patch rules out setting KPF_THP wrongly by additional PageSlab check.

Changelog in v3:
  - check PageSlab instead of PageAnon
  - fix patch subject

Changelog in v2:
  - add a comment in code
