mm: use 'unsigned int' for compound_dtor/compound_order on 64BIT

Browse source 
On 64 bit system we have enough space in struct page to encode
compound_dtor and compound_order with unsigned int.

On x86-64 it leads to slightly smaller code size due usesage of plain
MOV instead of MOVZX (zero-extended move) or similar effect.
