mm/slab: introduce kmalloc_flags()

With alloc_flags usage in slab, we can replace __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with an
alloc flag that prevents kmalloc recursion. For that we need a version
of kmalloc() that takes alloc_flags and use it in places that perform
these potentially recursive kmalloc allocations (of sheaves or obj_ext
arrays).

Add this function, named kmalloc_flags(). Right now it's only useful for
these nested allocations, so it doesn't need to optimize build-time
constant sizes like kmalloc() or kmalloc_buckets.

Since we need it to support both normal and non-spinning
kmalloc_nolock() context through the SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK flag, split out
most of the special _kmalloc_nolock_noprof() implementation to
__kmalloc_nolock_noprof() that takes a slab_alloc_context, and make
_kmalloc_nolock_noprof() a simple tail calling wrapper with the proper
context.

kmalloc_flags() can thus determine whether to call
__kmalloc_nolock_noprof() or __do_kmalloc_node(), based on the
given alloc_flags.
