SLUB slab validation: Move tracking information alloc outside of lock

We currently have to do an GFP_ATOMIC allocation because the list_lock is
already taken when we first allocate memory for tracking allocation
information.  It would be better if we could avoid atomic allocations.

Allocate a size of the tracking table that is usually sufficient (one page)
before we take the list lock.  We will then only do the atomic allocation
if we need to resize the table to become larger than a page (mostly only
needed under large NUMA because of the tracking of cpus and nodes otherwise
the table stays small).
