NULL pointer in kmem_cache_alloc with 2.6.25-rc1

[Zhang, Yanmin]

On my 16-core tigerton, kernel panic when I ran hackbench process testing. See
below log.

Commandline to start hackbench:
#./hackbench 150 process 2000

Kernel config options:
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set


Kernel panic at line 1637 in file mm/slub.c because object=c->freelist=NULL.
