Hi Linus,

Here's few important fixes to SLUB issues introduced in the merge window.

The most important ones are from Christoph Lameter and Eric Dumazet that fix
stability issues on non-x86 architectures. The patches from Shaohua Li fix a
performance regression in SLUB that was also introduced in the merge window.
