I think, it would be better to use kernel_map_pages() here and in
check_element().
This implies that poison_element()/check_element() has to be moved out of
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB || CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON ifdef (keeping only slab
poisoning under this ifdef).
After these changes it might be a good idea to rename
poison_element()/check_element()
to something like debug_add_element()/debug_remove_element() respectively.
