By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size
is up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation
after expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging
scenarios we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving
some specific slub objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases
limiting kfence for allocations involving only specific slub objects
will increase the probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool
will not be consumed by other slab objects.

This patch introduces a sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence'
to disable kfence for specific slabs. Having the interface work in this
way does not impact current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to
use kfence for specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to
skip/use kfence is taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has
(newly introduced) SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.
