nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUB

kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out
compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's
reuse of the index in struct slob_page.

Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that
don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the
compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default
to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object.

Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object
sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing
implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported
here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2

Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab
on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases
irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's
patches:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2

This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim
being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of
object abuse entirely.
