[PATCH] compound page: default destructor 

Somehow I imagined that calling a NULL destructor would free a compound page
rather than oopsing.  No, we must supply a default destructor, __free_pages_ok
using the order noted by prep_compound_page.  hugetlb can still replace this
as before with its own free_huge_page pointer.

The case that needs this is not common: rarely does put_compound_page's
put_page_testzero bring the count down to 0.  But if get_user_pages is applied
to some part of a compound page, without immediate release (e.g.  AIO or
Infiniband), then it's possible for its put_page to come after the containing
vma has been unmapped and the driver done its free_pages.

That's just the kind of case compound pages are supposed to be guarding
against (but Nick points out, nor did PageReserved handle this right).
