slab: kmalloc_size_roundup() must not return 0 for non-zero size

Browse Source 
The typical use of kmalloc_size_roundup() is:

	ptr = kmalloc(sz = kmalloc_size_roundup(size), ...);
	if (!ptr) return -ENOMEM.

This means it is vitally important that the returned value isn't less
than the argument even if the argument is insane.
In particular if kmalloc_slab() fails or the value is above
(MAX_ULONG - PAGE_SIZE) zero is returned and kmalloc() will return
its single zero-length buffer ZERO_SIZE_PTR.

Fix this by returning the input size if the size exceeds
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. kmalloc() will then return NULL as the size really is
too big.

kmalloc_slab() should not normally return NULL, unless called too early.
Again, returning zero is not the correct action as it can be in some
usage scenarios stored to a variable and only later cause kmalloc()
return ZERO_SIZE_PTR and subsequent crashes on access. Instead we can
simply stop checking the kmalloc_slab() result completely, as calling
kmalloc_size_roundup() too early would then result in an immediate crash
during boot and the developer noticing an issue in their code.
