Yu Zhao 90e9f6a66c mm/slub.c: avoid slub allocation while holding list_lock
If we are already under list_lock, don't call kmalloc().  Otherwise we
will run into a deadlock because kmalloc() also tries to grab the same
lock.

Fix the problem by using a static bitmap instead.

  WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
  --------------------------------------------
  mount-encrypted/4921 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-.}, at: ___slab_alloc+0x104/0x437

  but task is already holding lock:
  (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-.}, at: __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x81/0x3cb

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0
         ----
    lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock);
    lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

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.
