mm, slab: make kmalloc_info[] contain all types of names



Patch series "mm, slab: Make kmalloc_info[] contain all types of names", v6.

There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM
and KMALLOC_DMA.

The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name,
but the names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically
generated by kmalloc_cache_name().

Patch1 predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save
the time spent dynamically generating names.

These changes make sense, and the time spent by new_kmalloc_cache()
has been reduced by approximately 36.3%.

This patch (of 3):

There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM and
KMALLOC_DMA.

The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name, but the
names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically generated by
kmalloc_cache_name().

This patch predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save the time
spent dynamically generating names.

Besides, remove the kmalloc_cache_name() that is no longer used.
