Add the two methods needed for moving objects and enable the display of
the callbacks via the /sys/kernel/slab interface.
Add documentation explaining the use of these methods and the prototypes
for slab.h. Add functions to setup the callbacks method for a slab
cache.
Add empty functions for SLAB/SLOB. The API is generic so it could be
theoretically implemented for these allocators as well.
Change sysfs 'ctor' field to be 'ops' to contain all the callback
operations defined for a slab cache. Display the existing 'ctor'
callback in the ops fields contents along with 'isolate' and 'migrate'
callbacks.

+ * The purpose of kmem_cache_isolate_func() is to pin each object so that

+ * a flag.
+ *
+ * The object pointer array passed is also passed to
+ * kmem_cache_migrate_func(). The function may remove objects from the
+ * array by setting pointers to %NULL. This is useful if we can
+ * determine that an object is being freed because
+ * kmem_cache_isolate_func() was called when the subsystem was calling
+ * kmem_cache_free(). In that case it is not necessary to increase the
+ * refcount or specially mark the object because the release of the slab
+ * lock will lead to the immediate freeing of the object.
+ *
+ * Context: Called with locks held so that the slab objects cannot be
+ * freed. We are in an atomic context and no slab operations
+ * may be performed.
+ * Return: A pointer that is passed to the migrate function. If any
+ * objects cannot be touched at this point then the pointer may
+ * indicate a failure and then the migration function can simply
+ * remove the references that were already obtained. The private
+ * data could be used to track the objects that were already pinned.
