Subject: mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab()

The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page.  However,
alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current and next
freepointer during allocation path.  As a result, once some objects have
their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to page fault.

Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128
slub_nomerge'.  The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free
object on purpose.  Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it
when iterating the freechain.

Therefore, this patch adds extra consistency check in deactivate_slab(). 
Once an object's freepointer is corrupted, all following objects starting
at this object are isolated.
