[PATCH] slab: initialize unused alien cache entry as NULL at alloc_alien_cache().

[Haicheng Li <haicheng.li@linux.intel.com>]

Memory hotplug would online new node in runtime, then reap timer will add this new node as 
a reap node. In such case, for each existing kmem_list, we need to ensure that the alien 
cache entry corresponding to this new added node is NULL. Otherwise, it might cause BUG 
when reap_alien() affecting the new added node.
