Now that we no longer use compound pages for all large allocations,
kobjsize() actively breaks things like binfmt_flat by always handing
back PAGE_SIZE for mmap'ed regions. Fix this up by looking up the
VMA region for non-compounds.

Ideally binfmt_flat wants to get rid of kobjsize() completely, but
this is an incremental step.
