Subject: slub: track number of slabs irrespective of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG

For !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG, SLUB does not maintain the number of slabs
allocated per node for a kmem_cache.  Thus, slabs_node() in
__kmem_cache_empty(), __kmem_cache_shrink() and __kmem_cache_destroy()
will always return 0 for such config.  This is wrong and can cause issues
for all users of these functions.

In fact in [1] Jason has reported a system crash while using SLUB without
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.  The reason was the usage of slabs_node() by
__kmem_cache_empty().

The right solution is to make slabs_node() work even for
!CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.  The commit 0f389ec63077 ("slub: No need for per node
slab counters if !SLUB_DEBUG") had put the per node slab counter under
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG because it was only read through sysfs API and the sysfs
API was disabled on !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.  However the users of the per node
slab counter assumed that it will work in the absence of
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.  So, make the counter work for !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.

Please note that f9e13c0a5a33 ("slab, slub: skip unnecessary
kasan_cache_shutdown()") exposed this issue but it is present even before.
