Right. The #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is at the wrong location. The best fix
is to moving the #ifdef otherwise the size is still wrong for the 
ctor case.


SLUB Debug: Fix object size calculation

The object size calculation is wrong if !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG because
the #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is now switching off the size adjustments
for DESTROY_BY_RCU and ctor.
