My analysis before was wrong, the fix was much simpler. No need to
revert my FAILSLAB patch.  Just forgot to mask flags with gfp_allowed_mask.

I expect AKPM can pickup these two small fixes to my patches.

Below is a patch for linux-next.

[PATCH] mm: temporary fix for SLAB in linux-next

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@xxxxxxxxxx>

This is only for linux-next, until AKPM pickup fixes two patches:
 base url: http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/
 [1] mm-fault-inject-take-over-bootstrap-kmem_cache-check.patch
 [2] slab-use-slab_pre_alloc_hook-in-slab-allocator-shared-with-slub.patch

First fix is for compiling with CONFIG_FAILSLAB. The linux-next commit
needing this fix is 074b6f53c320 ("mm: fault-inject take over
bootstrap kmem_cache check").

Second fix is for correct masking of allowed GFP flags (gfp_allowed_mask),
in SLAB allocator.  This triggered a WARN, by percpu_init_late ->
pcpu_mem_zalloc invoking kzalloc with GFP_KERNEL flags. The linux-next
commit needing this fix is a1fd55538cae ("slab: use
slab_pre_alloc_hook in SLAB allocator shared with SLUB").
