SLUB: Do not allocate object bit array on stack

The objects per slab increase with the current patches in mm since we allow up
to order 3 allocs by default.  More patches in mm actually allow to use 2M or
higher sized slabs.  For slab validation we need per object bitmaps in order
to check a slab.  We end up with up to 64k objects per slab resulting in a
potential requirement of 8K stack space.  That does not look good.

Allocate the bit arrays via kmalloc.
