slab: Common constants for kmalloc boundaries
Standardize the constants that describe the smallest and largest object kept in the kmalloc arrays for SLAB and SLUB. Differentiate between the maximum size for which a slab cache is used (KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE) and the maximum allocatable size (KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE, KMALLOC_MAX_ORDER).
