Fix up non-NUMA SLAB configuration for zero-sized allocations
I suspect Christoph tested his code only in the NUMA configuration, for
the combination of SLAB+non-NUMA the zero-sized kmalloc's would not work.
Of course, this would only trigger in configurations where those zero-
sized allocations happen (not very common), so that may explain why it
wasn't more widely noticed.
Seen by by Andi Kleen under qemu, and there seems to be a report by
Michael Tsirkin on it too.
