[bug] SLUB & freeing locks [was: Re: 2.6.23-rc1: known regressionswith patches]

there's a new regression:

SLUB does not seem to call debug_check_no_locks_freed() - hence on SLUB
we will not notice certain types of freeing races. (such as freeing an
object still locked and used on another CPU.) SLAB does this corretly.
