From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

Currently the SLUB code represents encoded freelist entries as "void*".
That's misleading, those things are encoded under
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED so that they're not actually dereferencable.

Give them their own type, and split freelist_ptr() into one function per
direction (one for encoding, one for decoding).

I don't feel strongly about this.

Seems strange this would only appear for configs without CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

Since lots of files include linux/slab.h I think this may start to be used 
in non-slab code.  Not sure why it needs to be added to the header file?

Thanks for the comments! I think that makes sense. I will move the typedef
to slub.c and move it out of the ifdef (since that also broke the build with
SLUB_TINY).
