Ingo Molnar e0a4272679 [PATCH] mm/slab.c: fix early init assumption 
The SLAB bootstrap code assumes that the first two kmalloc caches created
(the INDEX_AC and INDEX_L3 kmalloc caches) wont be off-slab.  But due to AC
and L3 structure size increase in lockdep, one of them ended up being
off-slab, and subsequently crashing with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP:
 [<ffffffff80267478>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x26/0x7d

The fix is to introduce a bootstrap flag and to use it to prevent off-slab
caches being created so early during bootup.

(The calculation for off-slab caches is quite complex so i didnt want to
complicate things with introducing yet another INDEX_ calculation, the flag
approach is simpler and smaller.)
