mm: Kconfig: reorganize misplaced mm options

After commits 7b42f1041c98 ("mm: Kconfig: move swap and slab config
options to the MM section") and 519bcb797907 ("mm: Kconfig: group swap,
slab, hotplug and thp options into submenus") we now have nicely organized
mm related config options.  I have noticed some that were still misplaced,
so this moves them from various places into the new structure:

VM_EVENT_COUNTERS, COMPAT_BRK, MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED to mm/Kconfig and
general MM section.

SLUB_STATS to mm/Kconfig and the slab submenu.

DEBUG_SLAB, SLUB_DEBUG, SLUB_DEBUG_ON to mm/Kconfig.debug and the Kernel
hacking / Memory Debugging submenu.

+	help
+	  Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
+	  from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to
+	  userspace.  Enabling this config option allows you to request that
+	  mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
+	  providing a huge performance boost.  If this option is not enabled,
+	  then the flag will be ignored.
+
+	  This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
+	  ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
+
+	  Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
+	  enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
+	  userspace.  Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
+	  it is normally safe to say Y here.
