Subject: [PATCH v2] pagemap: fix wrong KPF_THP on slab pages

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.
Currently thp is constructed only on anonymous pages, so this patch makes
KPF_THP be set when both of PageAnon and PageTransCompound are true.

Changelog in v2:
  - add a comment in code
