mm/slub.c: add a naive detection of double free or corruption

Add an assertion similar to "fasttop" check in GNU C Library allocator
as a part of SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED feature.  An object added to a
singly linked freelist should not point to itself.  That helps to detect
some double free errors (e.g. CVE-2017-2636) without slub_debug and
KASAN.
