mm/slab: sanity-check page type when looking up cache
This avoids any possible type confusion when looking up an object. For example, if a non-slab were to be passed to kfree(), the invalid slab_cache pointer (i.e. overlapped with some other value from the struct page union) would be used for subsequent slab manipulations that could lead to further memory corruption. Since the page is already in cache, adding the PageSlab() check will have nearly zero cost, so add a check and WARN() to virt_to_cache(). Additionally replaces an open-coded virt_to_cache(). To support the failure mode this also updates all callers of virt_to_cache() and cache_from_obj() to handle a NULL cache pointer return value (though note that several already handle this case gracefully).
