A very good hint indeed. I would do this

Btw. it would be also helpful to get
`faddr2line ___slab_alloc+0x334' from your kernel Sachin.
[linux-next]# ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux ___slab_alloc+0x334 
___slab_alloc+0x334/0x760:
new_slab_objects at mm/slub.c:2478
(inlined by) ___slab_alloc at mm/slub.c:2628
[linux-next]# 

I have also attached boot log with a kernel that include about change.
I see the following o/p during boot:
