mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK
DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing. There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all. To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch will remove useless code.
