There isn't a check for a slot store type, so slot stores are preallocating the default 1 node. Slot stores do not require any additional nodes, so add a check for the slot store case that will bypass node_count_gfp(). Update the tests to reflect that slot stores do not require allocations. User visible effects of this bug include increased memory usage from the unneeded node that was allocated.
