mm/slab: introduce slab_alloc_context
Similarly to page allocator's struct alloc_context, introduce a helper struct to hold a part of the allocation arguments. This will allow reducing the number of parameters in many functions of the implementation, and extend them easily if needed. For now, make it hold the caller address and the originally requested allocation size. Convert alloc_single_from_new_slab(), __slab_alloc_node() and ___slab_alloc(). No functional change intended.
