slub: force on no_hash_pointers when slub_debug is enabled
Obscuring the pointers that slub shows when debugging makes for some confusing slub debug messages: Padding overwritten. 0x0000000079f0674a-0x000000000d4dce17 Those addresses are hashed for kernel security reasons. If we're trying to be secure with slub_debug on the commandline we have some big problems given that we dump whole chunks of kernel memory to the kernel logs. Let's force on the no_hash_pointers commandline flag when slub_debug is on the commandline. This makes slub debug messages more meaningful and if by chance a kernel address is in some slub debug object dump we will have a better chance of figuring out what went wrong. Note that we don't use %px in the slub code because we want to reduce the number of places that %px is used in the kernel. This also nicely prints a big fat warning at kernel boot if slub_debug is on the commandline so that we know that this kernel shouldn't be used on production systems.
