Oh, I didn't notice that.

Maybe we can just say that HARDENING depends on !SLOB for now, and see
if anything else shows up.

Maybe we don't have any code that copies data from (non-kmalloc)
multi-order allocations to user space.

Networking does, but seems to use __GFP_COMP, at least in the one case
I checked (skbuff).
