SLUB: add support for dynamic cacheline size determination

SLUB currently assumes that the cacheline size is static.  However, i386 f.e.
supports dynamic cache line size determination.

Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator.

That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN.  So we will need to keep
that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot
determination of the cache line size.
