The per-cpu slab is designed to be the primary path for allocation in SLUB since it assumed allocations will go through the fast path if possible. When debugging is enabled, the fast path is disabled and per-cpu allocations are not used. The current debugging code path still activates the cpu slab for allocations and then immediately deactivates it. This is useless work. When a slab is enabled for debugging, skip cpu activation.

zero day robot pointed out this is triggering one of the BUG_ON on bootup. I'll take a deeper look tomorrow unless the approach is actually worthless.
