SLAB-PDC, a memory allocator with pre-distruction callback (PDC).

Allow to call a pre-distructor function before actually freeing memory.

Tech info

Requirements: The first 2 element of the returned struct SHALL be:

• "struct rcu_head"
• "pdc_func_f"

E.g.:

struct foo {
   struct rcu_head rcu;
   pdc_func_f pdc_func;
   int foo1;
};

or:

struct foo {
   pdc_t kobj;
   int foo1;
};

AAA: Do not perform non atomic actions inside "pdc_func" AAA: The pdc_func SHALL not free the memory itself
