SLOB has been removed and SLQB never merged, so remove their mentions
from comments and documentation of pagemap.
In stable_page_flags() also correct an outdated comment mentioning that
PageBuddy() means a page->_refcount of -1, and remove compound_head()
from the PageSlab() call, as that's already implicitly there thanks to
PF_NO_TAIL.
