mm, slub: make reclaim_account attribute read-only
The attribute reflects the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache flag. It's not clear why this attribute was writable in the first place, as it's tied to how the cache is used by its creator, it's not a user tunable. Furthermore: - it affects slab merging, but that's not being checked while toggled - if affects whether __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag is used to allocate page, but the runtime toggle doesn't update allocflags - it affects cache_vmstat_idx() so runtime toggling might lead to incosistency of NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE Thus make it read-only.
