This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: slub: don't panic for memcg kmem cache creation failure
Currently for CONFIG_SLUB, if a memcg kmem cache creation is failed and
the corresponding root kmem cache has SLAB_PANIC flag, the kernel will be
crashed. This is unnecessary as the kernel can handle the creation
failures of memcg kmem caches. Additionally CONFIG_SLAB does not
implement this behavior. So, to keep the behavior consistent between SLAB
and SLUB, removing the panic for memcg kmem cache creation failures. The
root kmem cache creation failure for SLAB_PANIC correctly panics for both
SLAB and SLUB.
