dm raid1: switch read_record from kmalloc to slab to save memory 

With my previous patch to save bi_io_vec, the size of dm_raid1_read_record
is significantly increased (the vector list takes 3072 bytes on 32-bit machines
and 4096 bytes on 64-bit machines).

The structure dm_raid1_read_record used to be allocated with kmalloc,
but kmalloc aligns the size on the next power-of-two so an object
slightly greater than 4096 will allocate 8192 bytes of memory and half of
that memory will be wasted.

This patch turns kmalloc into a slab cache which doesn't have this
padding so it will reduce the memory consumed.
