mm: make minimum slab alignment a runtime property
When CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled we currently increase the minimum
slab alignment to 16. This happens even if MTE is not supported in
hardware or disabled via kasan=off, which creates an unnecessary memory
overhead in those cases. Eliminate this overhead by making the minimum
slab alignment a runtime property and only aligning to 16 if KASAN is
enabled at runtime.
On a DragonBoard 845c (non-MTE hardware) with a kernel built with
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, waiting for quiescence after a full Android boot I
see the following Slab measurements in /proc/meminfo (median of 3
reboots):
Before: 169020 kB
After: 167304 kB
