[SLUB 4/5] Add ability to list alloc / free callers per slab

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

This patch enables listing the callers who allocated or freed objects in a cache.

For example to list the allocators for kmalloc-128 do

cat /sys/slab/kmalloc-128/alloc_calls
      7 sn_io_slot_fixup+0x40/0x700

      6 kmem_free+0x70/0xc0
     24 free_as_io_context+0x20/0x200
      1 acpi_get_object_info+0x3a0/0x3e0
      1 acpi_add_single_object+0xcf0/0x1e40
      2 con_release_unimap+0x80/0x140
      1 free+0x20/0x40

SLAB_STORE_USER must be enabled for a slab cache by either booting with
"slab_debug" or enabling user tracking specifically for the slab of interest.
