      Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton:
       "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
        come in.  Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes
        to other code paths are pretty small.  And the net guys are waiting
        for this so they can start merging the client code"
      
      More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer:
       "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
        previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
        Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with
        CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup
        bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
        kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub:
        add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
      
        I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
        users of the API.
      
        But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
        net-tree"
