[PATCH] compound page: no access_process_vm check
The PageCompound check before access_process_vm's set_page_dirty_lock is no
longer necessary, so remove it. But leave the PageCompound checks in
bio_set_pages_dirty, dio_bio_complete and nfs_free_user_pages: at least some
of those were introduced as a little optimization on hugetlb pages.
