- The delayed kmem_cache constructor caused problems. Steven Rostedt
  reported problems versus the signal handling code and Koehrer
  Mathias reported the same. The patch in question has been reverted
  and a patch currently sitting in -mm has been added which provides
  the same functionality (running the constructor with enabled
  interrupts). Patch provided by Thomas Gleixner. 

The stable trees which carry the delay-ctor patches should be updated
to this.

Reverting the patch at least prevents the BUG. Latencywise the slub patch

   mm-slub-move-slab-initialization-into-irq-enabled-re.patch

is the one which wants to be ported back.

Thanks,
