Subject: [PATCH] mm: slab: make page_cgroup_ino() to recognize non-compound slab pages properly

page_cgroup_ino() doesn't return a valid memcg pointer for non-compund
slab pages, because it depends on PgHead AND PgSlab flags to be set
to determine the memory cgroup from the kmem_cache.
It's correct for compound pages, but not for generic small pages. Those
don't have PgHead set, so it ends up returning zero.

Fix this by replacing the condition to PageSlab() && !PageTail().

Before this patch:
[root@...alhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@...ervice/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080	        38        0  _______S___________________________________	slab

After this patch:
[root@...alhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@...ervice/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080	       147        0  _______S___________________________________	slab
