[KJ] [PATCH 6/9] Cleanup kmem_cache_create()

[Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>]

kmem_cache_create() is a pretty big function, so we'll devote one whole
patch just to cleaning it up.

General readability fixes.

* Replace a constant (4096) with a named #define (RED_ZONE_LIMIT)
* Reformat a looong if statement
* Replace a confusing label (opps) with a more sensible one (out)
* Rewrite some confusing slab alignment code for readability
* Replace a list_for_each/list_entry combo with an identical but
     more readable list_for_each_entry loop.
