Subject[patch 05/23] VM: Allow get_page_unless_zero on compound pages
SLUB uses compound pages for larger slabs. We need to increment
the page count of these pages in order to make sure that they are not
freed under us because of other operations on the slab that may
independently remove the objects.

[This patch is already in mm]
