Two fixes for debugobjects:

- Prevent that the allocation path wakes up kswapd. That's a long
     standing issue due to the GFP_ATOMIC allocation flag. As debug objects
     can be invoked from pretty much any context waking kswapd can end up
     in arbitrary lock chains versus the waitqueue lock.
 
   - Correct the explicit lockdep wait-type violation in
     debug_object_fill_pool().
