Fix for "kmem -[sS]" options on Linux 4.14 and later kernels built
with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED enabled. Without the patch, there
will error messages of the type "kmem: <cache name> slab: <address>
invalid freepointer: <obfuscated address>" for caches created during
SLUB bootstrap, as they are likely to have s->random == 0.
