Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] debugobjects: Fix the misuse of global variables in fill_pool()

The global variable 'obj_pool_min_free' records the lowest historical
value of the number of nodes in the global list 'obj_pool', instead of
being used as the minimum level to keep around. It has to be replaced
with variable 'debug_objects_pool_min_level'.

Fixes: d26bf5056fc0 ("debugobjects: Reduce number of pool_lock acquisitions in fill_pool()")
Fixes: 36c4ead6f6df ("debugobjects: Add global free list and the counter")
