KPF_THP can be set on non-huge compound pages like slab pages, because
PageTransCompound only sees PG_head and PG_tail. Obviously this is a bug
and breaks user space applications which look for thp via /proc/kpageflags.
Currently thp is constructed only on anonymous pages, so this patch makes
KPF_THP be set when both of PageAnon and PageTransCompound are true.
