Subject[PATCH] slab: Don't scan cache_cache
From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

The cache_cache object cache is used for bootstrapping, but the cache is
essentially static. It is unlikely that we ever have more than one page
allocated for it. As SLAB_NO_REAP is gone now, fix a regression by skipping
cache_cache explicitly in cache_reap().

Boot-tested with UML.
