Subject: [PATCH 5.15 062/171] mm/slub: fix endianness bug for alloc/free_traces attributes

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@...ux.ibm.com>

commit 005a79e5c254c3f60ec269a459cc41b55028c798 upstream.

On big-endian s390, the alloc/free_traces attributes produce endless
output, because of always 0 idx in slab_debugfs_show().

idx is de-referenced from *v, which points to a loff_t value, with

    unsigned int idx = *(unsigned int *)v;

This will only give the upper 32 bits on big-endian, which remain 0.

Instead of only fixing this de-reference, during discussion it seemed
more appropriate to change the seq_ops so that they use an explicit
iterator in private loc_track struct.

This patch adds idx to loc_track, which will also fix the endianness
bug.
