slab: Handle ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN correctly 

James Hogan hit boot problems in next-20130204 on Meta:

  META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] kobject (4fc03980): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.

And bisected the problem to commit 95a05b4 ("slab: Common constants for
kmalloc boundaries").

As it turns out, a fixed KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW does not work for arches with
higher alignment requirements.

Determine KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN instead.
