Pull slab update from Pekka Enberg:
 "Highlights:

  - Fix for boot-time problems on some architectures due to
    init_lock_keys() not respecting kmalloc_caches boundaries
    (Christoph Lameter)

  - CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL requested by RT folks (Joonsoo Kim)

  - Fix for excessive slab freelist draining (Wanpeng Li)

  - SLUB and SLOB cleanups and fixes (various people)"

I ended up editing the branch, and this avoids two commits at the end
that were immediately reverted, and I instead just applied the oneliner
fix in between myself.

* 'slab/for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux
  slub: Check for page NULL before doing the node_match check
  mm/slab: Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific names
  slob: Check for NULL pointer before calling ctor()
  slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable
  slab: add kmalloc() to kernel API documentation
  slab: fix init_lock_keys
  slob: use DIV_ROUND_UP where possible
  slub: do not put a slab to cpu partial list when cpu_partial is 0
  mm/slub: Use node_nr_slabs and node_nr_objs in get_slabinfo
  mm/slub: Drop unnecessary nr_partials
  mm/slab: Fix /proc/slabinfo unwriteable for slab
  mm/slab: Sharing s_next and s_stop between slab and slub
  mm/slab: Fix drain freelist excessively
  slob: Rework #ifdeffery in slab.h
  mm, slab: moved kmem_cache_alloc_node comment to correct place

Now, this uses SLUB pretty much unmodified, but as it is the -rt kernel
with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set, spinlocks are mutexes, although they do
disable migration. But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the
spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I
believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt
patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-)

Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable
can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not
check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic.

As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if
it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the
__slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption?
