Subject: [PATCH 05/31] mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of reserve pages

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl> 

Restrict objects from reserve slabs (ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS) to allocation
contexts that are entitled to it. This is done to ensure reserve pages don't
leak out and get consumed.

The basic pattern used for all # allocators is the following, for each active
slab page we store if it came from an emergency allocation. When we find it
did, make sure the current allocation context would have been able to allocate
page from the emergency reserves as well. In that case allow the allocation. If
not, force a new slab allocation. When that works the memory pressure has
lifted enough to allow this context to get an object, otherwise fail the
allocation.
