NOMMU: Teach kobjsize() about VMA regions.
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.
