SLUB: add CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components
of SLUB.  Thus SLUB will be able to replace SLOB.  SLUB can arrange objects in
a denser way than SLOB and the code size should be minimal without debugging
and sysfs support.

Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG.
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB.  SLUB enables
debugging via a boot parameter.  SLUB debug code should always be present.

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be modified in the embedded config section.
