SLUB: change error reporting format to follow lockdep loosely
Changes the error reporting format to loosely follow lockdep.
If data corruption is detected then we generate the following lines:
============================================
BUG <slab-cache>: <problem>
--------------------------------------------
INFO: <more information> [possibly multiple times]
<object dump>
FIX <slab-cache>: <remedial action>
This also adds some more intelligence to the data corruption detection. Its
now capable of figuring out the start and end.
Add a comment on how to configure SLUB so that a production system may
continue to operate even though occasional slab corruption occur through
a misbehaving kernel component. See "Emergency operations" in
Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
