[PATCH] Add some comments to slab.c 

Also, checks if we get a valid slabp_cache for off slab slab-descriptors.
We should always get this.  If we don't, then in that case we, will have to
disable off-slab descriptors for this cache and do the calculations again.
This is a rare case, so add a BUG_ON, for now, just in case.
