Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 2bcd3800f2 slab: Reimplement page_slab()
In order to separate slabs from folios, we need to convert from any page
in a slab to the slab directly without going through a page to folio
conversion first.

Up to this point, page_slab() has followed the example of other memdesc
converters (page_folio(), page_ptdesc() etc) and just cast the pointer
to the requested type, regardless of whether the pointer is actually a
pointer to the correct type or not.

That changes with this commit; we check that the page actually belongs
to a slab and return NULL if it does not.  Other memdesc converters will
adopt this convention in future.

kfence was the only user of page_slab(), so adjust it to the new way
of working.  It will need to be touched again when we separate slab
from page.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
