[S+Q 06/16] slub: Use kmem_cache flags to detect if slab is in debugging mode.

[Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
