[PATCH] slab: remove broken PageSlab check from kfree_debugcheck
The PageSlab debug check in kfree_debugcheck() is broken for compound
pages. It is also redundant as we already do BUG_ON for non-slab pages in
page_get_cache() and page_get_slab() which are always called before we free
any actual objects.
