See, the thing is, you never use slab, so that slab check is completely
wrong.

So how about we do something like:

+static struct bp_patching_desc {
+       int nr_entries;
+       struct text_patch_loc vec[PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct text_patch_loc)];
+} bp_patching;

and call it a day?

Then we have static storage, no allocation, no fail paths.

Also note that I removed that whole in_progress thing, as that is
completely redudant vs !!nr_entries.
