[RFC] Common code 04/12] slabs: Extract common code for kmem_cache_create

[Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: common_kmem_cache_checks --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 9749 bytes --]

Kmem_cache_create does a variety of sanity checks but those
vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into
a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB
under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
