Slab extension objects can't be allocated before slab infrastructure is initialized. Some caches, like kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, are created before slab infrastructure is initialized. Objects from these caches can't have extension objects. Introduce SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT slab flag to mark these caches and avoid creating extensions for objects allocated from these slabs.
