Miles Chen e1b70dd1e6 mm: slub: print the offset of fault addresses
With commit ad67b74d24 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"), it
is a little bit harder to match the fault addresses printed by
check_bytes_and_report() or slab_pad_check() in the dump because the
fault addresses may not show up in the dump.

Print the offset of the fault addresses to make it easier to match the
incorrect poison or padding values in the dump.

Before: We have to search the "63" in the dump.  If we want to get the
offset of 63, we have to count it from the start of Object dump.

After: We know the fault address is at @offset=1508, and the Object is
at @offset=1408, so we know the fault address is at offset=100 within
the object.

README

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.
