Subject: [PATCH] dcache: fix indirectly reclaimable memory accounting for CONFIG_SLOB

Indirectly reclaimable memory accounting uses
kmalloc_size()/kmalloc_index() functions to estimate
amount of consumed memory. kmalloc_size() always returns 0
and kmalloc_index() is not defined for CONFIG_SLOB,
and so it breaks the build.

Fix this by using ksize() function instead.

$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable:    7781312 kB

$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable:    7853272 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable:    7616644 kB

indirect.py:
  import os

  for iter in range (0, 1000000):
      try:
          name = ("/some_long_name_%d" % iter) + "_" * 220
          os.stat(name)
      except Exception:
          pass
