slub: avoid potential NULL dereference or corruption

show_slab_objects() can trigger NULL dereferences or memory corruption.

Another cpu can change its c->page to NULL or c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE
while we use them.

Use ACCESS_ONCE(c->page) and ACCESS_ONCE(c->node) to make sure this
cannot happen.
