slob: implement RCU freeing

The SLOB allocator should implement SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU correctly, because
even on UP, RCU freeing semantics are not equivalent to simply freeing
immediately.  This also allows SLOB to be used on SMP.

           scale well (single lock for all operations) and is also highly
           susceptible to fragmentation. SLUB can accomplish a higher object
           density. It is usually better to use SLUB instead of SLOB.
