[PATCH] nommu: use compound page in slab allocator
The earlier patch to consolidate mmu and nommu page allocation and refcounting by using compound pages for nommu allocations had a bug: kmalloc slabs who's pages were initially allocated by a non-__GFP_COMP allocator could be passed into mm/nommu.c kmalloc allocations which really wanted __GFP_COMP underlying pages. Fix that by having nommu pass __GFP_COMP to all higher order slab allocations.
