slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocations
kmalloc caches are statically defined and may take up a lot of space just
because the sizes of the node array has to be dimensioned for the largest
node count supported.
This patch makes the size of the kmem_cache structure dynamic throughout by
creating a kmem_cache slab cache for the kmem_cache objects. The bootstrap
occurs by allocating the initial one or two kmem_cache objects from the
page allocator.
C2->C3
- Fix various issues indicated by David
- Make create kmalloc_cache return a kmem_cache * pointer.
