Subject: [PATCH 1/2] slub: Enable backtrace for create/delete points.

From: Ben Greear <greearb@...delatech.com>

This patch attempts to grab a backtrace for the creation
and deletion points of the slub object.  When a fault is
detected, we can then get a better idea of where the item
was deleted.
