Subject: a part of SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED feature doesn't
 work well

(commit-webpage)[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ce6fa91b93630396ca220c33dd38ffc62686d499]

Test it on kernel 4.14.0.

When something goes like
kfree(a);
kfree(a);
then `insmod` crashed 'Segment Fault'

kfree(a);kfree(b);kfree(a);
Got nothing.

I add another kernel thread, just free some objects
very close to the target object_a;
kfree(a);
		another thread does some kfree(...)
kfree(a);
nothing happened, this patch didn't crash the `insmod` operation.
