[patch v2 3/4] mm, mempool: poison elements backed by slab allocator

[David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>]

Mempools keep elements in a reserved pool for contexts in which
allocation may not be possible.  When an element is allocated from the
reserved pool, its memory contents is the same as when it was added to
the reserved pool.

Because of this, elements lack any free poisoning to detect
use-after-free errors.

This patch adds free poisoning for elements backed by the slab allocator.
This is possible because the mempool layer knows the object size of each
element.

When an element is added to the reserved pool, it is poisoned with
POISON_FREE.  When it is removed from the reserved pool, the contents are
checked for POISON_FREE.  If there is a mismatch, a warning is emitted to
the kernel log.

This is only effective for configs with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB or
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.
