When memory allocation profiling is compiled in but permanently disabled on boot with (implicit or explicit) "never" parameter, stop allocating (thus wasting) memory for the codetag_ref parts of slabobj_ext metadata. Do this by using the new slab_obj_ext_has_codetag() helper in cache_obj_ext_size(). Additionally add a slab_obj_ext_has_codetag() check in handle_failed_objexts_alloc(). The function might get called with memory allocation profiling disabled, when the obj_ext array is allocated for objcg pointers only. Setting codetag refs as empty is unnecessary in that case, and with them not allocated anymore would now result in memory corruption.
