Hello!
This is an addition to the SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED feature. I'm sending it
according the discussion here:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2017/07/17/9

Add an assertion similar to "fasttop" check in GNU C Library allocator
as a part of SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED feature. An object added to a singly
linked freelist should not point to itself. That helps to detect some
double free errors (e.g. CVE-2017-2636) without slub_debug and KASAN.
