Once SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is removed, IMO, cpuset.memory_spread_slab is useless.

SLAB_MEM_SPREAD does not do anything anymore. SLUB relies on the "spreading" via the page allocator memory policies instead of doing its own like SLAB used to do.

What does FILE_SPREAD_SLAB do? Dont see anything there either.
