One advantage of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is that a generic distro kernel can be built
with the option enabled, but it's inactive until simply enabled on boot,
without rebuilding the kernel. With a static key, we can further eliminate the
overhead of checking whether a cache has a particular debug flag enabled if we
know that there are no such caches (slub_debug was not enabled during boot). We
use the same mechanism also for e.g.  page_owner, debug_pagealloc or kmemcg
functionality.

This patch introduces the static key and makes the general check for per-cache
debug flags kmem_cache_debug() use it. This benefits several call sites,
including (slow path but still rather frequent) __slab_free(). The next patches
will add more uses.

Yet another potential future user of DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_MAYBE()[1], once
I get it landed. :)
