The patch titled
Subject: mm/slab_common.c: initialize kmem_cache pointer to NULL
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: mm/slab_common.c: initialize kmem_cache pointer to NULL
The assignment to NULL within the error condition was written in a 2014
patch to suppress a compiler warning. However it would be cleaner to just
initialize the kmem_cache to NULL and just return it in case of an error
condition.
