Subject[RFC 1/2] slub: Avoid trying to allocate memory on offline nodes
Date
If a user calls the *alloc_node() functions with an invalid node
its possible to crash in alloc_pages_nodemask because NODE_DATA()
returns a bad node, which propogates into the node zonelist in
prepare_alloc_pages. This avoids that by not trying to allocate
new slabs against offline nodes.

(example backtrace)

__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x128/0xf48
allocate_slab+0x94/0x528
new_slab+0x68/0xc8
___slab_alloc+0x44c/0x520
__slab_alloc+0x50/0x68
kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0xe0/0x230
