SLUB: support slub_debug on by default

Browse Source 
Add a new configuration variable

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON

If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.

Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying

slub_debug=-

as a kernel parameter.

Dave Jones wanted this feature.

Enabling slub_debug allows one to determine the culprit
