mm/slob: Use free_page instead of put_page for page-size kmalloc allocations

When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages
calling __free_pages(). However, page-size kmallocs are disposed
using put_page() instead.

It makes no sense to call put_page() for kernel pages that are provided
by the object allocator, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves.

This is based on:
