The unit test kmalloc_pagealloc_invalid_free makes sure that for the
higher order slub allocation which goes to page allocator, the free is
called with the correct address i.e. the virtual address of the head
page.
Commit f227f0faf63b ("slub: fix unreclaimable slab stat for bulk free")
unified the free code paths for page allocator based slub allocations
but instead of using the address passed by the caller, it extracted the
address from the page. Thus making the unit test
kmalloc_pagealloc_invalid_free moot. So, fix this by using the address
passed by the caller.
Should we fix this? I think yes because dev expect kasan to catch these
type of programming bugs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
