3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0f8f8094d28eb53368ac09186ea6b3a324cc7d44 upstream.
Some architectures (e.g. powerpc built with CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=11) get PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26.
In 3.10 kernels, CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y with PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26 makes
init_lock_keys() dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26].
This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB)
if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL.
Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond
kmalloc_caches[26] arrays.
