[PATCH] kmemcheck: Disable SLUB and SLAB debugging when kmemcheckis enabled

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Enabling kmemcheck in Kconfig is a painful experience. Lets make it a
tad bit easier by inverting the dependencies to SLUB and SLAB debugging.
As kmemcheck is more powerful than slab debugging, disable the latter
functionality if an user enables kmemcheck.

SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can
result in significant savings in code size. This also disables
