Subject: slub: add back check for free nonslab objects
After commit ("f227f0faf63b slub: fix unreclaimable slab stat for bulk
free"), the check for free nonslab page is replaced by VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
which only check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, but this config may impact
performance, so it only for debug.
Commit ("0937502af7c9 slub: Add check for kfree() of non slab objects.")
add the ability, which should be needed in any configs to catch the
invalid free, they even could be potential issue, eg, memory corruption,
use after free and double free, so replace VM_BUG_ON_PAGE to WARN_ON_ONCE,
add object address printing to help use to debug the issue.
