You haven't tested this against the current codebase ...

... because page_has_type() is now true for slab; there is no more
PG_slab. I think you also want:
folio_slab(folio)->slab_cache->flags
Anyway, we have print_slab_info() which is currently static in slub.c.
Maybe that needs to become non-static and dump_page() should call that
for slabs?
