Use a special function to create kmalloc caches and use that function in
SLAB and SLUB.
V1->V2:
Do check for slasb state in slub's __kmem_cache_create to avoid
unlocking a lock that was not taken
V2->V3:
Remove slab_state check from sysfs_slab_add(). [Joonsoo]
V3->V4:
- Use %zd instead of %td for size info.
- Do not add slab caches to the list of slab caches during early
boot.
