The first parameter of __kfree_rcu() is unused in slab,slub,slqb.
(I used it before, for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y ...etc. But I found
these debugging code is needless)

Object sizes of the memory objects in slob's kmalloc-slab are various.
We hardly calculate the start address of the object from the rcu address.
