That's because page->private has been used by slab:

	/* Remainder is not double word aligned */
	union {
		unsigned long private;		/* Mapping-private opaque data:
					 	 * usually used for buffer_heads
						 * if PagePrivate set; used for
						 * swp_entry_t if PageSwapCache;
						 * indicates order in the buddy
						 * system if PG_buddy is set.
						 */
#if USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS
		spinlock_t ptl;
#endif
		struct kmem_cache *slab_cache;	/* SL[AU]B: Pointer to slab */
		struct page *first_page;	/* Compound tail pages */
	};
