Christoph Lameter 2492268472 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.
