slab: reset slab->obj_ext when freeing and it is OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL 

If obj_exts allocation failed, slab->obj_exts is set to OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL,
But we do not clear it when freeing the slab. Since OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL and
MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS currently share the same bit position, during the
release of the associated folio, a VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() check in
folio_memcg_kmem() is triggered because the OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL flag was
not cleared, causing it to be interpreted as a kmem folio (non-slab)
with MEMCG_OBJEXTS_DATA flag set, which is invalid because
MEMCG_OBJEXTS_DATA is supposed to be set only on slabs.

Another problem that predates sharing the OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL and
MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS bits is that on configurations with
is_check_pages_enabled(), the non-cleared bit in page->memcg_data will
trigger a free_page_is_bad() failure "page still charged to cgroup"

When freeing a slab, we clear slab->obj_exts if the obj_ext array has
been successfully allocated. So let's clear it also when the allocation
has failed.

Fixes: 09c46563ff ("codetag: debug: introduce OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL to mark failed slab_ext allocations")
Fixes: 7612833192 ("slab: Reuse first bit for OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL")
