The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent
and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value
with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on
platforms where they are different. Since both are always
small positive integer numbers, using the size_t type to compare
them is safe and gets rid of the warning.

Without this patch, building ARM collie_defconfig results in:

mm/slob.c: In function '__kmalloc_node':
mm/slob.c:431:152: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast 
[enabled by default]
mm/slob.c: In function 'kfree':
mm/slob.c:484:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast 
[enabled by default]
mm/slob.c: In function 'ksize':
mm/slob.c:503:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast 
[enabled by default]
