[RFC,04/14] mm: use virt_to_slab instead of folio_slab

This is refactoring in preparation for the introduction of SLAB_VIRTUAL
which does not implement folio_slab.

With SLAB_VIRTUAL there is no longer a 1:1 correspondence between slabs
and pages of physical memory used by the slab allocator. There is no way
to look up the slab which corresponds to a specific page of physical
memory without iterating over all slabs or over the page tables. Instead
of doing that, we can look up the slab starting from its virtual address
which can still be performed cheaply with both SLAB_VIRTUAL enabled and
disabled.
