[PATCH sl-b 2/6] mm: Add kmem_last_alloc_errstring() to provide more kmem_last_alloc() info

[paulmck@kernel.org]

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

NULL pointers can be useful, but the NULL pointers from kmem_last_alloc()
might be caused by any number of things: A not-to-a-slab pointer,
failure to enable all the needed debugging, and bogus slob block-address
computations.  This commit therefore introduces error codes to the
kmem_last_alloc() function using the ERR_PTR() facility, and also
introduces kmem_last_alloc_errstring(), which translates the error codes
into strings.
