As reported by Paul Mundt, kobjsize() does not work properly with SLOB and SLUB
that re-use parts of struct page for their own purposes. Fix it up by using
compound_order() for compound pages that don't have PageSlab set.

I kept the original object size calculation for non-compound pages in this
version. It looks like the nommu code uses kobjsize() for all sorts of
interesting things.
