Merge branch 'slab/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel…

…/git/penberg/linux

Pull SLAB changes from Pekka Enberg:
 "The patches from Joonsoo Kim switch mm/slab.c to use 'struct page' for
  slab internals similar to mm/slub.c.  This reduces memory usage and
  improves performance:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/16/155

  Rest of the changes are bug fixes from various people"
