There's already a slab_index() doing the same without the trick, with only
SLUB_DEBUG callers. Maybe just improve it and perhaps rename? (obj_to_index()
seems more descriptive). The difference is that it takes the result of
page_addr() instead of doing that, as it's being called in a loop on objects
from a single page, so you'd have to perhaps split to obj_to_index(page) and
__obj_to_index(addr) or something.
