Subject: [PATCHv2 22/41] thp: do not threat slab pages as huge in hpage_{nr_pages,size,mask}

Slab pages can be compound, but we shouldn't threat them as THP for
pupose of hpage_* helpers, otherwise it would lead to confusing results.

For instance, ext4 uses slab pages for journal pages and we shouldn't
confuse them with THPs. The easiest way is to exclude them in hpage_*
helpers.
