Re: [patch 03/26] Slab allocators: Consistent ZERO_SIZE_PTR support and NULL result semantics

Define ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR macro to be able to remove the checks
from the allocators. Move ZERO_SIZE_PTR related stuff into slab.h.

Make ZERO_SIZE_PTR work for all slab allocators and get rid of the
WARN_ON_ONCE(size == 0) that is still remaining in SLAB.

Make slub return NULL like the other allocators if a too large
memory segment is requested via __kmalloc.

Looks good to me.
