There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM

The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name,
but the names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically
generated by kmalloc_cache_name().
This patch predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save
the time spent dynamically generating names.
As I said, IMHO it's more useful that we don't need to allocate the
names dynamically anymore, and it's simpler overall.

BTW should it really be an __initconst, when references to the names
keep on living in kmem_cache structs? Isn't this for data that's
discarded after init?
