mm, slab/slub: move and improve cache_from_obj()
The function cache_from_obj() was added by commit b9ce5ef49f00 ("sl[au]b: always get the cache from its page in kmem_cache_free()") to support kmemcg, where per-memcg cache can be different from the root one, so we can't use the kmem_cache pointer given to kmem_cache_free(). Prior to that commit, SLUB already had debugging check+warning that could be enabled to compare the given kmem_cache pointer to one referenced by the slab page where the object-to-be-freed resides. This check was moved to cache_from_obj(). Later the check was also enabled for SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED configs by commit 598a0717a816 ("mm/slab: validate cache membership under freelist hardening"). These checks and warnings can be useful especially for the debugging, which can be improved. Commit 598a0717a816 changed the pr_err() with WARN_ON_ONCE() to WARN_ONCE() so only the first hit is now reported, others are silent. This patch changes it to WARN() so that all errors are reported. It's also useful to print SLUB allocation/free tracking info for the offending object, if tracking is enabled. We could export the SLUB print_tracking() function and provide an empty one for SLAB, or realize that both the debugging and hardening cases in cache_from_obj() are only supported by SLUB anyway. So this patch moves cache_from_obj() from slab.h to separate instances in slab.c and slub.c, where the SLAB version only does the kmemcg lookup and even could be completely removed once the kmemcg rework [1] is merged. The SLUB version can thus easily use the print_tracking() function. It can also use the kmem_cache_debug_flags() static key check for improved performance in kernels without the hardening and with debugging not enabled on boot.
