Subject: slub: Use kmem_cache flags to detect if slab is in debugging mode. The cacheline with the flags is reachable from the hot paths after the percpu allocator changes went in. So there is no need anymore to put a flag into each slab page. Get rid of the SlubDebug flag and use the flags in kmem_cache instead.
