Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm: use PF_ONLY_HEAD for PG_active and PG_unevictable

All places but one test, set or clear PG_active and PG_unevictable on
small or head pages. Use compound_head() explicitly for that singleton
so the rest can rid of redundant compound_head().

bloat-o-meter result:
  add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 3/38 up/down: 388/-4270 (-3882)
