slab: Reimplement page_slab()
In order to separate slabs from folios, we need to convert from any page in a slab to the slab directly without going through a page to folio conversion first. Up to this point, page_slab() has followed the example of other memdesc converters (page_folio(), page_ptdesc() etc) and just cast the pointer to the requested type, regardless of whether the pointer is actually a pointer to the correct type or not. That changes with this commit; we check that the page actually belongs to a slab and return NULL if it does not. Other memdesc converters will adopt this convention in future. kfence was the only user of page_slab(), so adjust it to the new way of working. It will need to be touched again when we separate slab from page.
