Subject: [Patch v3 -mm 1/2] mm/slab: 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.
