Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 4/6] mm: Implement slab quarantine randomization

The randomization is very important for the slab quarantine security
properties. Without it the number of kmalloc()+kfree() calls that are
needed for overwriting the vulnerable object is almost the same.
That would be good for stable use-after-free exploitation, and we
should not allow that.

This commit contains very compact and hackish changes that introduce
the quarantine randomization. At first all quarantine batches are filled
by objects. Then during the quarantine reducing we randomly choose and
free 1/2 of objects from a randomly chosen batch. Now the randomized
quarantine releases the freed object at an unpredictable moment, which
is harmful for the heap spraying technique employed by use-after-free
exploits.
