Subject: [PATCH] slab: do not call compound_head() in page_get_cache()

page_get_cache() does not need to call compound_head(), as its unique
caller virt_to_slab() already makes sure to return a head page.

Additionally, removing the compound_head() call makes page_get_cache()
consistent with page_get_slab().
