Subject: [PATCH 47/49] jbd2: Mark jbd2 slabs as SLAB_TEMPORARY

From: Mingming Cao <cmm@...ibm.com>

This patch marks slab allocations by jbd2 as short-lived in support of
Mel Gorman's "Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations"
patch.  (Ported from similar changes made to fs/jbd/journal.c and
fs/jbd/revoke.c in Mel's patch.)
