mm: slab: only move management objects off-slab for sizes larger than KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE
On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is "kmalloc-128" with index 7. Depending on the debug kernel configuration, sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an INDEX_NODE of 8. Commit 8fc9cf420b36 ("slab: make more slab management structure off the slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects off-slab. However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size) returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet). This triggers the following bug on arm64: kernel BUG at /work/Linux/linux-2.6-aarch64/mm/slab.c:2283!
