Subject: slab: fix init_lock_keys

init_lock_keys() goes too far in initializing values in kmalloc_caches
because it assumed that the size of the kmalloc array goes up to
MAX_ORDER.  However, the size of the kmalloc array for SLAB may be
restricted due to increased page sizes or CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER.
