Subject: [PATCH v3 00/10] A few fixes and cleanups to mballoc

v2->v3:
-Correct comment of patch 10 on top of [1]. Remove the RVB from patch
10 as it changed.
-Collect RVG from Ritesh to Patch 1.
v1->v2:
Collect review-by from Ritesh and do improve as Ritesh suggested:
-Keep checks inside unlikely() in patch 1
-Add missed fixes tags in patch 1, 2 and 10
-Fix typo, fix conflic and kill one more return in patch 5

Hi all, this series contains some random fixes and cleanups to mballoc
which include correct grp validation, fix data overflow and so on.
More details can be found in respective patches.
Besides, 'kvm-xfstest smoke' runs successfully without error.

Thanks!
