kmemleak: Do not use off-slab management with SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE
With the slab allocator, if off-slab management is enabled for the
kmem_caches used by kmemleak, it leads to recursive calls into
kmemleak_alloc(). Off-slab management can be triggered by other config
options increasing the slab size, e.g. DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
