Subject: [PATCH 2/2] slub: remove resiliency_test() function

From: Oliver Glitta <glittao@...il.com>

Function resiliency_test() is hidden behind #ifdef
SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody
runs it.

This function is replaced with kselftest for SLUB added
by the previous patch "selftests: add a kselftest for SLUB
debugging functionality".
