[Devel] [PATCH v2 17/29] slab: create duplicate cache

[Glauber Costa]

This patch provides kmem_cache_dup(), that duplicates
a cache for a memcg, preserving its creation properties.
Object size, alignment and flags are all respected.
An exception is the SLAB_PANIC flag, since cache creation
inside a memcg should not be fatal.

This code is mostly written by Suleiman Souhlal,
with some adaptations and simplifications by me.
