Yes, there's no need for #ifdef in .c file but debugfs_slab_release
decleration is there in slub_def.h like sysfs_slab_release and
slub_def.h will be include in slab_common.c if CONFIG_SLUB is enable or
it will include slab_def.h if CONFIG_SLAB is enable, this inclusion
happend from mm/slab.h,

#ifdef CONFIG_SLAB
#include <linux/slab_def.h>
#endif

#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB
#include <linux/slub_def.h>
#endif

so mm/slab.h decide which .h has to include, to avoid undefined
reference error added SLAB_SUPPORTS_DEBUGFS like SLAB_SUPPORTS_SYSFS.

Vlastimil's suggested to keep it, and it suggest's user for the new
