Since we're now moving towards a unified slab allocator interface,
make CFLGS_OFF_SLAB visible to all allocators, even though SLAB keeps
being its only users. Also, make the name consistent with the other
flags, that start with SLAB_xx.

What is the significance of knowledge about internal slab structures (such
as the CFGLFS_OFF_SLAB) outside of the allocators?

I want to mask that out in kmem-specific slab creation. Since I am copying the original flags, and that flag is embedded in the slab saved flags, it will be carried to the new slab if I don't mask it out.

Alternatively to this, I can tweak slab.c to always mask out this at the beginning of cache creation, if you so prefer.
