slub: add ability to list alloc / free callers per slab
This patch enables listing the callers who allocated or freed objects in a
cache.
For example to list the allocators for kmalloc-128 do

SLAB_STORE_USER must be enabled for a slab cache by either booting with
"slab_debug" or enabling user tracking specifically for the slab of interest.
