[PATCH v2 0/5] mm/slub: fix validation races and cleanup locking

[Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>]

This series builds on the validation races fix posted previously [1]
that became patch 2 here and contains all the details in its
description.

Thanks to Hyeonggon Yoo's observation, patch 3 removes more slab_lock()
usage that became unnecessary after patch 2.

This made it possible to further simplify locking code in patches 4 and
5. Since those are related to PREEMPT_RT, I'm CCing relevant people on
this series.

Changes since v1 [2]:

- add acks/reviews from Hyeonggon and David
- minor fixes to patch 2 as reported by Hyeonggon
- patch 5 reworked to rely on disabled preemption by bit_spin_lock()
  which should be sufficient without disabled interrupts on RT

git version:

I plan to add this series to slab.git for-next in few days.
