Vlastimil Babka ae65a5211d mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for kmem_cache_alloc() objects
This will make it easier to free objects in situations when they can
come from either kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc(), and also allow
kfree_rcu() for freeing objects from kmem_cache_alloc().

For the SLAB and SLUB allocators this was always possible so with SLOB
gone, we can document it as supported.
