[PATCH v2 3/3] mm/slub: Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning

[Kees Cook]

It turns out that SLUB redzoning ("slub_debug=Z") checks from
s->object_size rather than from s->inuse (which is normally bumped to
make room for the freelist pointer), so a cache created with an object
size less than 24 would have their freelist pointer written beyond
s->object_size, causing the redzone to corrupt the freelist pointer.
This was very visible with "slub_debug=ZF":

BUG test (Tainted: G    B            ): Right Redzone overwritten

Adjust the offset to stay within s->object_size.
