Hi, GONG!
Sorry for my late review.

This patch series looks good to me (with a nit),

Also, I verified that the problem you described exists on slab/for-next,
and the patch series fixes the problem. Please feel free to add,

nit: Does it make sense to call __kvmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof()
instead of __do_kmalloc_node() to avoid bloating the code size?

My simple build test says it saves 1592 bytes:
  $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter slub.o.before slub.o.after
  add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-1592 (-1592)
  Function                                     old     new   delta
  __kvmalloc_node_noprof.cold                   39       -     -39
  __kvmalloc_node_noprof                      1755     202   -1553
  Total: Before=79723, After=78131, chg -2.00%
