C13 [09/14] Move duping of slab name to slab_common.c

[Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Duping of the slabname has to be done by each slab. Moving this code
to slab_common avoids duplicate implementations.

With this patch we have common string handling for all slab allocators.
Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems
can create temporary strings to create slab caches.

Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and those
can never be freed since they are essential to slab allocator operations).
During bootstrap we therefore do not have to worry about duping names.
