mm/slab: Add __free() support for kvfree

Allow for the declaration of variables that trigger kvfree() when they
go out of scope. The check for NULL and call to kvfree() can be elided
by the compiler in most cases, otherwise without the NULL check an
unnecessary call to kvfree() may be emitted. Peter proposed a comment
for this detail [1].
