When enable kasan and kfence's in-kernel kunit test with slub_debug on,
it caught a problem (in linux-next tree):

It was biscted to commit c7323a5ad078 ("mm/slub: restrict sysfs
validation to debug caches and make it safe")
The problem is inside free_debug_processing(), in one path, the slab
on partial list is missed to be freed when partial list is full.

Hi reviewers,
Sorry for the late reporting, but it's curious that this problem didn't
show up in my earlier test (which caught some other problems).
