[patch 2/5] slab: add a flag to prevent debug_free checks on a kmem_cache

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: add-slab-flag-to-avoid-debug-checks.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1131 bytes --]

This is a preperatory patch for the debugobjects infrastructure. The
flag prevents debug_free checks on kmem_caches. This is necessary to
avoid resursive calls into a debug mechanism which uses a kmem_cache
itself.
