Subject: mm/slab: add is_kmalloc_cache() helper function
Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2023 14:06:04 +0800
commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of
kmalloc") introduces 'SLAB_KMALLOC' bit specifying whether a kmem_cache is
a kmalloc cache for slab/slub (slob doesn't have dedicated kmalloc
caches).
Add a helper inline function for other components like kasan to simplify
code.
