Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu
   arrays called sheaves.

   The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and
   simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues
   with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing.

   It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object
   preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is
   unknown, but an upper bound is.

   Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a
   plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath
   based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double().
   (Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple
   tree changes)

 - Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations
   from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts.

   Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in
   removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov)

 - Various fixes and cleanups. (Kuan-Wei Chiu, Matthew Wilcox, Suren
   Baghdasaryan, Ye Liu)
