[PATCH v3] mm, slub: change run-time assertion in kmalloc_index() to compile-time

currently when size is not supported by kmalloc_index, compiler will
generate a run-time BUG() while compile-time error is also possible,
and better. so changed BUG to BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to make compile-time
check possible.

also removed code that allocates more than 32MB because current
implementation supports only up to 32MB.
