mm/slab: remove !CONFIG_TRACING variants of kmalloc_[node_]trace()
For !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, the kmalloc() implementation tries (in cases where
the allocation size is build-time constant) to save a function call, by
inlining kmalloc_trace() to a kmem_cache_alloc() call.
However since commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of
kmalloc") this path now fails to pass the original request size to be
eventually recorded (for kmalloc caches with debugging enabled).
We could adjust the code to call __kmem_cache_alloc_node() as the
CONFIG_TRACING variant, but that would as a result inline a call with 5
parameters, bloating the kmalloc() call sites. The cost of extra function
call (to kmalloc_trace()) seems like a lesser evil.
It also appears that the !CONFIG_TRACING variant is incompatible with upcoming
hardening efforts [1] so it's easier if we just remove it now. Kernels with no
tracing are rare these days and the benefit is dubious anyway.
