Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/slub: fix to return errno if kmalloc() fails

From: Chao Yu <[email protected]>

In create_unique_id(), kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL) can fail due to
out-of-memory, if it fails, return errno correctly rather than
triggering panic via BUG_ON();

kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:5893!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
