mm: introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves

__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much
like PF_MEMALLOC.  It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in
object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as
sk->sk_allocation.  This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as callers
using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which is now
enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.

mm: micro-optimise slab to avoid a function call

Getting and putting objects in SLAB currently requires a function call but
the bulk of the work is related to PFMEMALLOC reserves which are only
consumed when network-backed storage is critical.  Use an inline function
to determine if the function call is required.

slab: do not call compound_head() in page_get_cache()

page_get_cache() does not need to call compound_head(), as its unique
caller virt_to_slab() already makes sure to return a head page.

Additionally, removing the compound_head() call makes page_get_cache()
consistent with page_get_slab().

mm, slab: lock the correct nodelist after reenabling irqs

cache_grow() can reenable irqs so the cpu (and node) can change, so ensure
that we take list_lock on the correct nodelist.

This fixes an issue with commit 072bb0aa5e06 ("mm: sl[au]b: add
knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages") where list_lock for the wrong
node was taken after growing the cache.

mm/slab: restructure kmem_cache_create() debug checks

kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is
defined.  These checks interspersed with the regular code path has lead
to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM defined.
Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new function
would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also will allow
for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without introducing
new warnings in the regular path.

This restructuring work is based on the discussion in the following
thread:

mm/slab_common: Improve error handling in kmem_cache_create

Instead of using s == NULL use an errorcode. This allows much more
detailed diagnostics as to what went wrong. As we add more functionality
from the slab allocators to the common kmem_cache_create() function we will
also add more error conditions.

Print the error code during the panic as well as in a warning if the module
can handle failure. The API for kmem_cache_create() currently does not allow
the returning of an error code. Return NULL but log the cause of the problem
in the syslog.

mm/sl[aou]b: Get rid of __kmem_cache_destroy

What is done there can be done in __kmem_cache_shutdown.

This affects RCU handling somewhat. On rcu free all slab allocators do
not refer to other management structures than the kmem_cache structure.
Therefore these other structures can be freed before the rcu deferred
free to the page allocator occurs.

mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.c

Duping of the slabname has to be done by each slab. Moving this code to
slab_common avoids duplicate implementations.

With this patch we have common string handling for all slab allocators.
Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems
can create temporary strings to create slab caches.

Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and
those can never be freed since they are essential to slab allocator
operations).  During bootstrap we therefore do not have to worry about
duping names.
