[PATCH v4 04/25] Wipe out CFLGS_OFF_SLAB from flags during initial slab creation

[Glauber Costa]

CFLGS_OFF_SLAB is not a valid flag to be passed to cache creation.
If we are duplicating a cache - support added in a future patch -
we will rely on the flags it has stored in itself. That may include
CFLGS_OFF_SLAB.

So it is better to clean this flag at cache creation.
