slab: remove __alloc_size attribute from __kmalloc_track_caller

Browse source 
Commit c37495d625 ("slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better
bounds checking") added __alloc_size attributes to a bunch of kmalloc
function prototypes.  Unfortunately the change to __kmalloc_track_caller
seems to cause clang to generate broken code and the first time this is
called when booting, the box will crash.

While the compiler problems are being reworked and attempted to be
solved [1], let's just drop the attribute to solve the issue now.  Once
it is resolved it can be added back.
