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

Pull slab changes from Pekka Enberg:
 "The biggest change is byte-sized freelist indices which reduces slab
  freelist memory usage:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/2/64"

* 'slab/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux:
  mm: slab/slub: use page->list consistently instead of page->lru
  mm/slab.c: cleanup outdated comments and unify variables naming
  slab: fix wrongly used macro
  slub: fix high order page allocation problem with __GFP_NOFAIL
  slab: Make allocations with GFP_ZERO slightly more efficient
  slab: make more slab management structure off the slab
  slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slab
  slab: restrict the number of objects in a slab
  slab: introduce helper functions to get/set free object
  slab: factor out calculate nr objects in cache_estimate
