[PATCH v2] mm: Restructure kmem_cache_create() to move debug cache integrity checks into a new function

[Shuah Khan <shuah.khan@hp.com>]

kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
is defined. These checks interspersed with the regular code path has
lead to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
defined. Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new
function would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also
will allow for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without
introducing new warnings in the regular path. This restructuring work
is based on the discussion in the following thread:
