PATCH 1/1 kasan: docs: SLUB is the only remaining slab implementation
We have only the SLUB implementation left in the kernel (referred to as "slab"). Therefore, there is nothing special regarding KASAN modes when it comes to the slab allocator anymore.
Drop the stale comment regarding differing SLUB vs. SLAB support.
