"slab: Fix missing DEBUG_SLAB last user" breaks ARM

[Russell King]

commit 5c5e3b33 appears to break ARM thusly:

| kernel BUG at /home/rmk/git/linux-2.6-rmk/mm/slab.c:2928!

This hasn't been noticed as I guess not many people use SLAB on ARM
anymore, and even less people probably have SLAB debugging enabled.
With SLAB debugging disabled, the system appears to behave correctly -
or maybe the problem is just hidden.
