mm: free up PG_slab

Reclaim the Slab page flag by using a spare bit in PageType.  We are
perennially short of page flags for various purposes, and now that the
original SLAB allocator has been retired, SLUB does not use the
mapcount/page_type field.  This lets us remove a number of special cases
for ignoring mapcount on Slab pages.
