[RFC,13/32] mm/slub: Convert alloc_slab_page() to return a struct slab

Commit Message

Preparatory, callers convert back to struct page for now.

Also move setting page flags to alloc_slab_page() where we still operate on a
struct page. This means the page->slab_cache pointer is now set later than the
PageSlab flag, which could theoretically confuse some pfn walker assuming
PageSlab means there would be a valid cache pointer. But as the code had no
barriers and used __set_bit() anyway, it could have happened already, so there
shouldn't be such a walker.
