    Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
     "The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation
      in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for
      everyone and we can proceed.
    
      Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
      kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects,
      which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had
      no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be
      necessary anymore.
    
      Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements
      from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon"
