mm, slab: initialize object alignment on cache creation
commit d4a5fca592b9ab52b90bb261a90af3c8f53be011 upstream. Since commit 4590685546a3 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Common alignment code"), the "ralign" automatic variable in __kmem_cache_create() may be used as uninitialized. The proper alignment defaults to BYTES_PER_WORD and can be overridden by SLAB_RED_ZONE or the alignment specified by the caller.
