mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB

Patch series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection
calls".

These two patches largely revert commits that added function call overhead
into slab and page allocation hotpaths and that cannot be currently
disabled even though related CONFIG_ options do exist.

A much more involved solution that can keep the callsites always existing
but hidden behind a static key if unused, is possible [1] and can be
pursued by anyone who believes it's necessary.  Meanwhile the fact the
should_failslab() error injection is already not functional on kernels
built with current gcc without anyone noticing [2], and lukewarm response
to [1] suggests the need is not there.  I believe it will be more fair to
have the state after this series as a baseline for possible further
optimisation, instead of the unconditional overhead.

For example a possible compromise for anyone who's fine with an empty
function call overhead but not the full CONFIG_FAILSLAB /
CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC overhead is to reuse patch 1 from [1] but insert a
static key check only inside should_failslab() and
should_fail_alloc_page() before performing the more expensive checks.

This patch (of 2):

This mostly reverts commit 4f6923fbb352 ("mm: make should_failslab always
available for fault injection").  The commit made should_failslab() a
noinline function that's always called from the slab allocation hotpath,
even if it's empty because CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB is not enabled, and
there is no option to disable that call.  This is visible in profiles and
the function call overhead can be noticeable especially with cpu
mitigations.

Meanwhile the bpftrace program example in the commit silently does not
work without CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB anyway with a recent gcc, because the
empty function gets a .constprop clone that is actually being called
(uselessly) from the slab hotpath, while the error injection is hooked to
the original function that's not being called at all [1].

Thus put the whole should_failslab() function back behind
CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB.  It's not a complete revert of 4f6923fbb352 - the
int return type that returns -ENOMEM on failure is preserved, as well
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION annotation.  The BTF_ID() record that was meanwhile
added is also guarded by CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB.
