[Devel] [PATCH vz7 1/5] ub statd: fix new_notify structure allocation

[Stanislav Kinsburskiy]

From: Stanislav Kinsburskiy <skinsbursky at parallels.com>

This bug is old, but it was hidden by minimax SLAB size equal to 32 bytes.
With SLUB allocator, there are 8-bytes slabs, and this issue is revealed.
