Subject: [PATCHv2 2/4] slub: Fix/clean free_debug_processing return paths


Since 19c7ff9ecd89 ("slub: Take node lock during object free checks")
check_object has been incorrectly returning success as it follows
the out label which just returns the node. Thanks to refactoring,
the out and fail paths are now basically the same. Combine the two
into one and just use a single label.

Credit to Mathias Krause for the original work which inspired this series

If there is interest, I can split this off as a separate patch for stable
