mm: make minimum slab alignment a runtime property
When CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled we currently increase the minimum slab alignment to 16. This happens even if MTE is not supported in hardware or disabled via kasan=off, which creates an unnecessary memory overhead in those cases. Eliminate this overhead by making the minimum slab alignment a runtime property and only aligning to 16 if KASAN is enabled at runtime. On a DragonBoard 845c (non-MTE hardware) with a kernel built with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, waiting for quiescence after a full Android boot I see the following Slab measurements in /proc/meminfo (median of 3 reboots): Before: 169020 kB After: 167304 kB [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make slab alignment type `unsigned int' to avoid casting] Link: https://linux-review.googlesource.com/id/I752e725179b43b144153f4b6f584ceb646473ead Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220427195820.1716975-2-pcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@google.com> Reviewed-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Tested-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Eric W.
