    slub: fix check_bytes() for slub debugging · ef62fb32
    Akinobu Mita authored
    The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging.  It returns a pointer
    to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.
    
    If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
    doesn't work.  Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.
    
    	value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
    	value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;
    
    The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
    is u8.  The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
    the second line has no effect.
    
    This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.
