[PATCH] fix in slab.c:alloc_arraycache
Kmem_cache_alloc_node is not capable of handling a null cachep pointer as
its input argument.
If I try to increase a slab limit by echoing a very large number into
/proc/slabinfo, kernel will panic from alloc_arraycache() because
Kmem_find_general_cachep() can actually return a NULL pointer if the size
argument is sufficiently large.
