But for debug pages, we never load c->page->freelist to c->freelist so
it should always be NULL.

Looking at this, we're oopsing at:
0: 48 8b 04 c2 mov (%rdx,%rax,8),%rax
where rdx is c->freelist and rax c->offset. The the value for
c->freelist ("3200100010100000") doesn't make much sense. Furthermore,
we never if this really were a bug in __slab_alloc() shouldn't we be
hitting it more often?
How did you make SLUB hit the debug path since you have
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON disabled?
