mm/slub: free KFENCE objects in slab_free_hook()
When freeing an object that was allocated from KFENCE, we do that in the slowpath __slab_free(), relying on the fact that KFENCE "slab" cannot be the cpu slab, so the fastpath has to fallback to the slowpath. This optimization doesn't help much though, because is_kfence_address() is checked earlier anyway during the free hook processing or detached freelist building. Thus we can simplify the code by making the slab_free_hook() free the KFENCE object immediately, similarly to KASAN quarantine. In slab_free_hook() we can place kfence_free() above init processing, as callers have been making sure to set init to false for KFENCE objects. This simplifies slab_free(). This places it also above kasan_slab_free() which is ok as that skips KFENCE objects anyway. While at it also determine the init value in slab_free_freelist_hook() outside of the loop. This change will also make introducing per cpu array caches easier.
