[PATCH] ubifs: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage

[chengming.zhou]

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@bytedance.com>

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag is already a no-op as of 6.8-rc1, remove
its usage so we can delete it from slab. No functional change.

Applied.
Next time please add a reference that makes very clear why such a flag
is no longer needed.
It took me a few minutes to figure why SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is
now a no-op.

Thanks,

Update changelog to make it clearer:

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was
removed as of v6.8-rc1, so it became a dead flag. And the series[1]
went on to mark it obsolete to avoid confusion for users. Here we
can just remove all its users, which has no functional change.
