mm/slab: Plumb kmem_buckets into __do_kmalloc_node()
Introduce CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS which provides the infrastructure to support separated kmalloc buckets (in the following kmem_buckets_create() patches and future codetag-based separation). Since this will provide a mitigation for a very common case of exploits, it is recommended to enable this feature for general purpose distros. By default, the new Kconfig will be enabled if CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED is enabled (and it is added to the hardening.config Kconfig fragment). To be able to choose which buckets to allocate from, make the buckets available to the internal kmalloc interfaces by adding them as the second argument, rather than depending on the buckets being chosen from the fixed set of global buckets. Where the bucket is not available, pass NULL, which means "use the default system kmalloc bucket set" (the prior existing behavior), as implemented in kmalloc_slab(). To avoid adding the extra argument when !CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS, only the top-level macros and static inlines use the buckets argument (where they are stripped out and compiled out respectively). The actual extern functions can then be built without the argument, and the internals fall back to the global kmalloc buckets unconditionally.

+ Kernel heap attacks frequently depend on being able to create
+ specifically-sized allocations with user-controlled contents
+ that will be allocated into the same kmalloc bucket as a
+ target object. To avoid sharing these allocation buckets,
+ provide an explicitly separated set of buckets to be used for
+ user-controlled allocations. This may very slightly increase
+ memory fragmentation, though in practice it's only a handful
+ of extra pages since the bulk of user-controlled allocations
+ are relatively long-lived.
