drm/i915: Use a slab for object allocation
The primary purpose of this was to debug some use-after-free memory corruption that was causing an OOPS inside drm/i915. As it turned out the corruption was being caused elsewhere and i915.ko as a major user of many objects was being hit hardest. Indeed as we do frequent the generic kmalloc caches, dedicating one to ourselves (or at least naming one for us depending upon the core) aids debugging our own slab usage.
