[Crash-utility] [PATCH] “kmem address” not working properly when redzone is enabled

Crash “kmem address” not working properly when redzone is enabled. When "slub_debug" is enabled with redzoning, "kmem address" does not work properly. The "red_left_pad" member within "struct kmem_cache" is currently an "unsigned int", it used to be an "int", but it never was a "long", hence "red_left_pad" in do_slab_slub() was not initialized properly. This "red_left_pad" issue resulted in reporting free objects as "[ALLOCATED]", and in reporting bogus object addresses when using "set redzone off".
