Subject: slub: workaround for lockdep confusion
From: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (root)
inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage.
swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes:
(&n->list_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff802935c1>] add_partial+0x31/0xa0
{softirq-on-W} state was registered at:

[<ffffffff807f112d>] _sinittext+0x12d/0x140
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
This change isn't really necessary for correctness, but it prevents lockdep
from getting upset and then disabling itself.
