SLUB's ksize() fails for size > 2048

Browse source 
I can't pass memory allocated by kmalloc() to ksize() if it is allocated by
SLUB allocator and size is larger than (I guess) PAGE_SIZE / 2.

The error of ksize() seems to be that it does not check if the allocation
was made by SLUB or the page allocator.
