mm: store compound_nr as well as compound_order
Patch series "THP prep patches".
These are some generic cleanups and improvements, which I would like
merged into mmotm soon. The first one should be a performance improvement
for all users of compound pages, and the others are aimed at getting code
to compile away when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled (ie small
systems). Also better documented / less confusing than the current prefix
mixture of compound, hpage and thp.
This patch (of 7):
This removes a few instructions from functions which need to know how many
pages are in a compound page. The storage used is either page->mapping on
64-bit or page->index on 32-bit. Both of these are fine to overlay on
tail pages.
