Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 15/15] dcache: Add CONFIG_DCACHE_SMO

In an attempt to make the SMO patchset as non-invasive as possible add a
config option CONFIG_DCACHE_SMO (under "Memory Management options") for
enabling SMO for the DCACHE.  Whithout this option dcache constructor is
used but no other code is built in, with this option enabled slab
mobility is enabled and the isolate/migrate functions are built in.

Add CONFIG_DCACHE_SMO to guard the partial shrinking of the dcache via
Slab Movable Objects infrastructure.
