[TRIVIAL] implement kmem_cache_size

[Rusty Trivial Russell]

From:  Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

  Currently there is no way to find out the effective object size of a slab
  cache.  XFS has lots of IRIX-derived code that want to do zalloc() style
  allocations on zones (which are implemented as slab caches in XFS/Linux)
  and thus needs to know about it.  There are three ways do implement it:
  
  a) implement kmem_cache_zalloc
  b) make the xfs zone a struct of kmem_cache_t and a size variable
  c) implement kmem_cache_size
  
  The current XFS tree does a) but I absolutely don't like it as encourages
  people to use kmem_cache_zalloc for new code instead of thinking about
  how to utilize slab object reuse.  b) would be easy, but I guess
  kmem_cache_size is usefull enough to get into the kernel.
  
  Trivial patch to implement  kmem_cache_size (doesn't change any existing
  code) appended:
