nommu: Correct kobjsize() page validity checks.
This implements a few changes on top of the recent kobjsize() refactoring introduced by commit 6cfd53fc03670c7a544a56d441eb1a6cc800d72b. As Christoph points out: virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also does not return NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to figure out if a page is valid. Otherwise the page struct reference that was returned may have PageReserved() set to indicate that it is not a valid page. As discussed further in the thread, virt_addr_valid() is the preferable way to validate the object pointer in this case. In addition to fixing up the reserved page case, it also has the benefit of encapsulating the hack introduced by commit 4016a1390d07f15b267eecb20e76a48fd5c524ef on the impacted platforms, allowing us to get rid of the extra checking in kobjsize() for the platforms that don't perform this type of bizarre memory_end abuse (every nommu platform that isn't blackfin). If blackfin decides to get in line with every other platform and use PageReserved for the DMA pages in question, kobjsize() will also continue to work fine. It also turns out that compound_order() will give us back 0-order for non-head pages, so we can get rid of the PageCompound check and just use compound_order() directly. Clean that up while we're at it.
