In case CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=n find_mergeable() gets debug features from commandline but never checks if there are features from the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE set. As a result selected by slub_debug caches are always mergeable if they have been created without a custom constructor set or without one of the SLAB_* debug features on. This adds the necessary check and makes selected slab caches unmergeable if one of the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE features is set from commandline.
