slab, kmemleak: pass the correct pointer to kmemleak_erase()
In ____cache_alloc(), the variable 'ac' may be changed after cache_alloc_refill() and the following kmemleak_erase() may get an incorrect pointer. Update 'ac' after cache_alloc_refill() unconditionally. See the following URL for the discussion of this patch: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125873373124187&w=2 Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: J. R.
