From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, slub: restore irqs around calling new_slab()
allocate_slab() currently re-enables irqs before calling to the page
allocator. It depends on gfpflags_allow_blocking() to determine if it's
safe to do so. Now we can instead simply restore irq before calling it
through new_slab(). The other caller early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() is
unaffected by this.
