Yes, seems need another patch to convert using compound_nr().

Lots of callers will not calculate the number of pages, so I think we
can just add the compound_nr() in the API firstly, which also can avoid
changing lots of callers.

IMHO that means we will need another function like
pgtable_kernel_pte_page_ctor/dtor() to account kernel pagetable, however
they do the same thing. So a common function which only do
'__SetPageTable' and account pagetable will be more helpful.

So how about pgtable_page_inc()/pgtable_page_dec()?
