> From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>
> 
> The mempool subsystem historically wrapped its debugging logic inside an

> 
> 1. On production kernels where CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y but
>    CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=n, mempool debugging was completely
> compiled out
>    at compile time.
> 2. On kernels with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y, mempool debugging stayed
> active
>    even if a user explicitly disabled slub debugging at boot time.
> 
> Clean up this mess by removing the #ifdef and switching to a runtime static
> key (mempool_debug_enabled), allowing mempool debugging to be toggled
> cleanly via its own boot parameter.
