rcu: Dump memory object info if callback function is invalid

When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.

And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0
... ...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at rcu_do_batch+0x1c0/0x3b8
... ...

 (do_idle) from (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x20)
 (cpu_startup_entry) from (0xc01530)

This commit therefore adds calls to mem_dump_obj(rhp) to output some
information, for example:

  slab kmalloc-256 start ffff410c45019900 pointer offset 0 size 256

This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab
debugging can be enabled, for example, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, which can
provide significantly more information.
