[PATCH RESEND 2/2] cgroup/cpuset: Mark memory_spread_slab as obsolete

[Xiongwei Song]

We've removed the SLAG allocator, cpuset_do_slab_mem_spread() and
SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, memory_spread_slab is a no-op now. We can mark
memory_spread_slab as obsolete in case someone still wants to use it
after cpuset_do_slab_mem_spread() removed. For more details, please
check [1].

Sorry, I made a mistake with linux-mm list. Correct linux-mmc to
linux-mm.
