The current design uses "struct slabinfo" and get_slabinfo() to retrieve 
some info, i.e. active objs, etc. They are protected by CONFIG_SLABINFO.

We could replicate the logic in get_slabinfo without using struct 
slabinfo, but it sounds not that necessary and CONFIG_SLABINFO is 
typically enabled by default and it is not shown in menuconfig.
