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.

Boot with debugging on by default. SLUB boots by default with
the runtime debug capabilities switched off. Enabling this is
equivalent to specifying the "slub_debug" parameter on boot.
There is no support for more fine grained debug control like
possible with slub_debug=xxx. SLUB debugging may be switched
off in a kernel built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON by specifying
"slub_debug=-".
