This is due to a race when two objects are allocated from the same slab,
which did not have an obj_exts allocated for.
In such a case, the two threads will notice the NULL obj_exts and after
one assigns slab->obj_exts, the second one will happily do the exchange if
it reads this new assigned value.
In order to avoid that, verify that the read obj_exts does not point to an
allocated obj_exts before doing the exchange.
