[PATCH] selinux: Use kmem_cache for hashtab_node

From: Kyeongdon Kim
Date: Wed Sep 06 2017 - 05:50:46 EST


During random test as own device to check slub account,
we found some slack memory from hashtab_node(kmalloc-64).
By using kzalloc(), middle of test result like below:
allocated size 240768
request size 45144
slack size 195624
allocation count 3762

So, we want to use kmem_cache_zalloc() and that
can reduce memory size 52byte(slack size/alloc count) per each struct.
