Revert "slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"
This reverts commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC").
commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC") assumes that the
system with !CONFIG_NUMA has only one memory node. But, it turns out to
be false by the report from Geert. His system, m68k, has many memory
nodes and is configured in !CONFIG_NUMA. So it couldn't boot with above
change.
Here goes his failure report.
With latest mainline, I'm getting a crash during bootup on m68k/ARAnyM:
enable_cpucache failed for radix_tree_node, error 12.

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
Although there is a alternative way to fix this issue such as disabling
use of alien cache on !CONFIG_NUMA, but, reverting issued commit is better
to me in this time.
