lkdtm: use SLAB_NO_MERGE instead of an empty constructor
Use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag to prevent merging instead of providing an empty constructor. Using an empty constructor in this manner is an abuse of slab interface. The SLAB_NO_MERGE flag should be used with caution, but in this case, it is acceptable as the cache is intended soley for debugging purposes. No functional changes intended.
