[PATCH 2/9] slab: makes clear_obj_pfmemalloc() just return store masked value

[Joonsoo Kim]

clear_obj_pfmemalloc() takes the pointer to the object pointer as argument
to store masked value back into this address.
But this is useless, since we don't use this stored value anymore.
All we need is just masked value. So makes clear_obj_pfmemalloc()
just return masked value.
