slub: do not fail if we cannot register a slab with sysfs

Do not BUG() if we cannot register a slab with sysfs.  Just print an error.
 The only consequence of not registering is that the slab cache is not
visible via /sys/slab.  A BUG() may not be visible that early during boot
and we have had multiple issues here already.
