Commit c37495d6254c ("slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better
bounds checking") added __alloc_size attributes to a bunch of kmalloc
function prototypes. Unfortunately the change to __kmalloc_track_caller
seems to cause clang to generate broken code and the first time this is
called when booting, the box will crash.
While the compiler problems are being reworked and attempted to be
solved [1], let's just drop the attribute to solve the issue now. Once
it is resolved it can be added back.

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.
