Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/slub: Add check for s->flags in the alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook

From: Hao Ge <gehao@...inos.cn>

When enable CONFIG_MEMCG & CONFIG_KFENCE & CONFIG_KMEMLEAK,
the following warning always occurs,This is because the
following call stack occurred:
mem_pool_alloc
    kmem_cache_alloc_noprof
        slab_alloc_node
            kfence_alloc

Once the kfence allocation is successful,slab->obj_exts will not be empty,
because it has already been assigned a value in kfence_init_pool.

Since in the prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook function,we perform a check for
s->flags & (SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT | SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE),the alloc_tag_add function
will not be called as a result.Therefore,ref->ct remains NULL.

However,when we call mem_pool_free,since obj_ext is not empty,
it eventually leads to the alloc_tag_sub scenario being invoked.
This is where the warning occurs.

So we should add corresponding checks in the alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook.
For __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT case,I didn't see the specific case where it's
using kfence,so I won't add the corresponding check in
alloc_tagging_slab_free_hook for now.
