Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
 "The most prominent change this time is the kmem_buckets based
  hardening of kmalloc() allocations from Kees Cook.

  We have also extended the kmalloc() alignment guarantees for
  non-power-of-two sizes in a way that benefits rust.

  The rest are various cleanups and non-critical fixups.

   - Dedicated bucket allocator (Kees Cook)

     This series [1] enhances the probabilistic defense against heap
     spraying/grooming of CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES from last year.

     kmalloc() users that are known to be useful for exploits can get
     completely separate set of kmalloc caches that can't be shared with
     other users. The first converted users are alloc_msg() and
     memdup_user().

     The hardening is enabled by CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS.

   - Extended kmalloc() alignment guarantees (Vlastimil Babka)

     For years now we have guaranteed natural alignment for power-of-two
     allocations, but nothing was defined for other sizes (in practice,
     we have two such buckets, kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192).

     To avoid unnecessary padding in the rust layer due to its alignment
     rules, extend the guarantee so that the alignment is at least the
     largest power-of-two divisor of the requested size.

     This fits what rust needs, is a superset of the existing
     power-of-two guarantee, and does not in practice change the layout
     (and thus does not add overhead due to padding) of the kmalloc-96
     and kmalloc-192 caches, unless slab debugging is enabled for them.

   - Cleanups and non-critical fixups (Chengming Zhou, Suren
     Baghdasaryan, Matthew Willcox, Alex Shi, and Vlastimil Babka)

     Various tweaks related to the new alloc profiling code, folio
     conversion, debugging and more leftovers after SLAB"
