[POWERPC] Enable SLUB in *_defconfig
When checking out the new NO_HZ support in powerpc, I noticed we never slept for more than 2 seconds. It turns out SLAB has a 2 second per cpu timer that causes this. After switching to SLUB I see some nice 4 second sleeps which is the limit on this POWER6 box (the decrementer ticks at 512MHz): slept 4.19 sec slept 4.19 sec slept 4.19 sec slept 4.19 sec slept 3.96 sec slept 3.80 sec slept 2.99 sec Since SLUB is now the default and some powerpc defconfigs already enable it, lets enable SLUB across the board for consistency. While doing this I also noticed that the maple defconfig has SLAB debugging enabled which is sure to make your box nice and slow. Fix that too.
