mm/slab: expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB

Patch series "mm: Expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB"

In reviewing Vlastimil Babka's latest slub debug series, I realized[1]
that several checks under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED weren't being
applied to SLAB.  Fix this by expanding the Kconfig coverage, and adding a
simple double-free test for SLAB.

This patch (of 2):

Include SLAB caches when performing kmem_cache pointer verification.  A
defense against such corruption[1] should be applied to all the
allocators.  With this added, the "SLAB_FREE_CROSS" and "SLAB_FREE_PAGE"
LKDTM tests now pass on SLAB:

  lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_CROSS
