Merge branch 'slub-tiny-v1r6' into slab/for-next

Merge my series [1] to deprecate the SLOB allocator.
- Renames CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with deprecation notice.
- The recommended replacement is CONFIG_SLUB, optionally with the new
  CONFIG_SLUB_TINY tweaks for systems with 16MB or less RAM.
- Use cases that stopped working with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY instead of SLOB
  should be reported to linux-mm@kvack.org and slab maintainers,
  otherwise SLOB will be removed in few cycles.
