[PATCH v4 12/17] slab: create kmem_cache_create() compatibility layer

[Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Use _Generic() to create a compatibility layer that type switches on the
third argument to either call __kmem_cache_create() or
__kmem_cache_create_args(). If NULL is passed for the struct
kmem_cache_args argument use default args making porting for callers
that don't care about additional arguments easy.
