Subject: [PATCH] net: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage

From: Chengming Zhou <[email protected]>

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag is already a no-op as of 6.8-rc1, remove
its usage so we can delete it from slab. No functional change.

Update changelog to make it clearer:

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was
removed as of v6.8-rc1, so it became a dead flag since the commit
16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And the
series[1] went on to mark it obsolete explicitly to avoid confusion
for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any
functional change.

Thanks!

Thanks Chengming Zhou,

this seems reasonable to me. But I think it would be best to post
a v2 of this patch with the updated patch description (which is very
helpful, BTW).
