Thanks for the report. Can you confirm the below fixes the issue?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix global NR_SLAB_.*CLAIMABLE counter reads

As Tetsuo points out:

    Commit 385386cff4c6f047 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from
    zone to node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It
    shows nearly 0kB.

In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM
from overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements
during suspend-to-disk.

This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.

Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.
