Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 55860d96ca slub: cure list_slab_objects() from double fix
According to Christopher Lameter two fixes have been merged for the same
problem.  As far as I can tell, the code does not acquire the list_lock
and invoke kmalloc().  list_slab_objects() misses an unlock (the
counterpart to get_map()) and the memory allocated in free_partial()
isn't used.

Revert the mentioned commit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
