When ULP uses folio or compound page, ULP can not work well with RXE 
after this commit is applied.

Perhaps removing page_size set in RXE is a good solution because 
page_size is set twice, firstly page_size is set in infiniband/core, 
secondly it is set in RXE.

When folio or compound page is used in ULP, it is very possible that 
page_size in infiniband/core is different from the page_size in RXE.

Not sure what problem this difference will cause.
