mm/slab.c: fix SLAB freelist randomization duplicate entries
This patch fixes a bug in the freelist randomization code. When a high random number is used, the freelist will contain duplicate entries. It will result in different allocations sharing the same chunk. It will result in odd behaviours and crashes. It should be uncommon but it depends on the machines. We saw it happening more often on some machines (every few hours of running tests).
