Subject: [PATCH 08/16] page-flags: define behavior of Xen-related flags on compound pages

PG_pinned and PG_savepinned are about page table's pages which are never
compound.

I'm not so sure about PG_foreign, but it seems we shouldn't see compound
pages there too.

Let's use NO_COMPOUND for all of them.
