mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab()

The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page.
However, alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current
and next freepointer during allocation path.  As a result, once some
objects have their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to
page fault.

Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128
slub_nomerge'.  The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free
object on purpose.  Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it
when iterating the freechain.

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000123456f8
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

Therefore, this patch adds extra consistency check in deactivate_slab().
Once an object's freepointer is corrupted, all following objects
starting at this object are isolated.
