slab.h: disable completely broken overflow handling in flex allocationsHEADmaster

Commit 69050f8d6d07 ("treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for
non-scalar types") started using the new allocation helpers, and in the
process showed that they were completely non-working.

The overflow logic in overflows_flex_counter_type() is completely the
wrong way around, and that broke __alloc_flex() completely.  By chance,
the resulting code was then such a mess that clang generated
sufficiently garbage code that objtool warned about it all.  Which made
it somewhat quicker to narrow things down.

While fixing overflows_flex_counter_type() would presumably fix this
all, I'm excising the whole broken overflow logic from __alloc_flex(),
because we don't want that kind of code in basic allocation functions
anyway.

That (no longer) broken overflows_flex_counter_type() thing needs to be
inserted into the actual __set_flex_counter() logic in the unlikely case
that we ever want this at all.  And made conditional.
