Subject: [PATCH RT 11/22] mm/slub: close possible memory-leak in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch.
If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know.

Under certain circumstances we could leak elements which were moved to
the local "to_free" list. The damage is limited since I can't find
any users here.
