Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: Restrict and formalize compound_page_dtors[]

Restrict elements in compound_page_dtors[] array per NR_COMPOUND_DTORS and
explicitly position them according to enum compound_dtor_id. This improves
protection against possible misalignment between compound_page_dtors[] and
enum compound_dtor_id later on.
