Re: [PATCH] headers: untangle kmemleak.h from mm.h

Currently <linux/slab.h> #includes <linux/kmemleak.h> for no obvious
reason. It looks like it's only a convenience, so remove kmemleak.h
from slab.h and add <linux/kmemleak.h> to any users of kmemleak_*
that don't already #include it.
Also remove <linux/kmemleak.h> from source files that do not use it.

This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig. It
would be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes.
I have neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other
$ARCHes.

[slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h
is right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the
counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I
didn't combine all of those.]

This is Lingchi patch #1 (death by a thousand cuts, applied to kernel
header files).

Nice find:

I agree that it needs to go through 0-day to find any hidden dependencies we might 
have grown due to this.

Thanks,
