Is this the right reason?
I think we always increment some counter for a page - so
what gets incremented for a compressed page?
Is the real answer that we do:

  ram_save_target_page
     control_save_page
     compress_page_with_multi_thread

and control_save_page already increments the counter?

I think the 'normal' page shouldn't include the compressed
page and XBZRLE-ed page (the current code does not treat
xbzrle pages are normal as well).

In the later patch, we will introduce the statistics of
compression which contains "pages":
    @pages: amount of pages compressed and transferred to the target VM

No :), control_save_page increments the counter only if it posted
data out, under that case, the compression path is not invoked.

Thanks!
