Commit a41adfaa ("slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist
of a slab") changes the size of freelist index and also changes
prototype of accessor function to freelist index.  And there was a
mistake.

The mistake is that although it changes the size of freelist index
correctly, it changes the size of the index of freelist index
incorrectly.  With patch, freelist index can be 1 byte or 2 bytes, that
means that num of object on on a slab can be more than 255.  So we need
more than 1 byte for the index to find the index of free object on
freelist.  But, above patch makes this index type 1 byte, so slab which
have more than 255 objects cannot work properly and in consequence of
it, the system cannot boot.

This issue was reported by Steven King on m68knommu which would use
2 bytes freelist index:

To fix is easy.  To change the type of the index of freelist index on
accessor functions is enough to fix this bug.  Although 2 bytes is
enough, I use 4 bytes since it have no bad effect and make things more
easier.  This fix was suggested and tested by Steven in his original
report.
