[PATCH v2 07/10] Add page_is_buddy for recent kernels

[HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com>]

On kernels from v2.6.38 and later kernels, buddy page is marked by
_mapcount == PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE, which varies once as follows:

  kernel version    | PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE
  ------------------+--------------------------
  v2.6.38           | -2
  v2.6.39 and later | -128

One more notice is that _mapcount shares its memory with other fields
for SLAB/SLUB when PG_slab is set. Before looking up _mapcount value,
we need to check if PG_slab is set.

Since this page_is_buddy needs _mapcount, we use freelist logic if
_mapcount is not available.

Recall that PG_slab has been 7 since v2.6.15. No need to check it.
