mm: slub: really fix slab walking for init_on_free

Commit 1b7e816f ("mm: slub: Fix slab walking for init_on_free")
fixed one problem with the slab walking but missed a key detail: When
walking the list, the head and tail pointers need to be updated since we
end up reversing the list as a result.  Without doing this, bulk free is
broken.

One way this is exposed is a NULL pointer with slub_debug=F:
