Subject[PATCH v2] mm/slub: introduce SLAB_WARN_ON_ERROR
Date
From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@mediatek.com>

When debugging slab errors in slub.c, sometimes we have to trigger
a panic in order to get the coredump file. Add a debug option
SLAB_WARN_ON_ERROR to toggle WARN_ON() when the option is set.

Change since v1:
1. Add a special debug option SLAB_WARN_ON_ERROR and toggle WARN_ON()
if it is set.
2. SLAB_WARN_ON_ERROR can be set by kernel parameter slub_debug.

- Switch all debugging off (useful if the kernel is
