mm, slub: enable slub_debug static key when creating cache with explicit debug flags

Browse Source 
Commit ca0cab65ea ("mm, slub: introduce static key for slub_debug()")
introduced a static key to optimize the case where no debugging is
enabled for any cache.  The static key is enabled when slub_debug boot
parameter is passed, or CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled.

However, some caches might be created with one or more debugging flags
explicitly passed to kmem_cache_create(), and the commit missed this.
Thus the debugging functionality would not be actually performed for
these caches unless the static key gets enabled by boot param or config.

This patch fixes it by checking for debugging flags passed to
kmem_cache_create() and enabling the static key accordingly.

Note such explicit debugging flags should not be used outside of
debugging and testing as they will now enable the static key globally.
btrfs_init_cachep() creates a cache with SLAB_RED_ZONE but that's a
mistake that's being corrected [1].  rcu_torture_stats() creates a cache
with SLAB_STORE_USER, but that is a testing module so it's OK and will
start working as intended after this patch.

Also note that in case of backports to kernels before v5.12 that don't
have 59450bbc12 ("mm, slab, slub: stop taking cpu hotplug lock"),
static_branch_enable_cpuslocked() should be used.
