Avoid the #if. I think none of the stuff referenced here is only
available if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. In that case, please just write:

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG) && init && .........) {

The compiler will correctly optimize out the branch if the config
option is not enabled. But the benefit is we compile-test this code
with all configs.
