Patch series "mm/kmemleak: Minor cleanup & performance tuning".
This series contains 2 simple cleanup patches to slightly reduce memory
and performance overhead.
This patch (of 2):
With commit 56a61617dd22 ("mm: use stack_depot for recording kmemleak's
backtrace"), the size of kmemleak_object has been reduced by 128 bytes for
64-bit arches. The replacement "depot_stack_handle_t trace_handle" is
actually just 4 bytes long leaving a hole of 4 bytes. By moving up
trace_handle to another existing 4-byte hold, we can save 8 more bytes
from kmemleak_object reducing its overall size from 248 to 240 bytes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
