Subject: mm: kmemleak: slob: respect SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE flag

When kmemleak is enabled for SLOB, system does not boot and does not print
anything to the console.  At the very early stage in the boot process we
hit infinite recursion from kmemleak_init() and eventually kernel crashes.

kmemleak_init() specifies SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE for KMEM_CACHE(), but
kmem_cache_create_usercopy() removes it because CACHE_CREATE_MASK is not
valid for SLOB.

Let's fix CACHE_CREATE_MASK and make kmemleak work with SLOB
