Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] mm/slub: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>

We can disable debug_pagealloc processing even if the code is compiled
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This patch changes the code to query
whether it is enabled or not in runtime.

v2: clean up code, per Christian.
