Subject: [PATCH v2 -next 1/2] mm/slb: add is_kmalloc_cache() helper function

commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of
kmalloc") introduces 'SLAB_KMALLOC' bit specifying whether a
kmem_cache is a kmalloc cache for slab/slub (slob doesn't have
dedicated kmalloc caches).

Add a helper inline function for other components like kasan to
simplify code.

  since v1:
  * don't use macro for the helper (Andrew Morton)
  * place the inline function in mm/slb.h to solve data structure
    definition issue (Vlastimil Babka)
