mm, slab: add static key for should_failslab()

Since commit 4f6923f ("mm: make should_failslab always available for
fault injection") should_failslab() is unconditionally a noinline
function. This adds visible overhead to the slab allocation hotpath,
even if the function is empty. With CONFIG_FAILSLAB=y there's additional
overhead, even when the functionality is not activated by a boot
parameter or via debugfs.

The overhead can be eliminated with a static key around the callsite.
Fault injection and error injection frameworks including bpf can now be
told that this function has a static key associated, and are able to
enable and disable it accordingly.

Additionally, compile out all relevant code if neither CONFIG_FAILSLAB
nor CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is enabled. When only the latter is
not enabled, make should_failslab() static inline instead of noinline.

To demonstrate the reduced overhead of calling an empty
should_failslab() function, a kernel build with
CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION enabled but CONFIG_FAILSLAB disabled,
and CPU mitigations enabled, was used in a qemu-kvm (virtme-ng) on AMD
Ryzen 7 2700 machine, and execution of a program trying to open() a
non-existent file was measured 3 times:

    for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
        open("non_existent", O_RDONLY);
    }

After this patch, the measured real time was 4.3% smaller. Using perf
profiling it was verified that should_failslab was gone from the
profile.

With CONFIG_FAILSLAB also enabled, the patched kernel performace was
unaffected, as expected, while unpatched kernel's performance was worse,
resulting in the relative speedup being 10.5%. This means it no longer
needs to be an option suitable only for debug kernel builds.
