Here is a more general fix
SLUB: minimum alignment fixes
If ARCH_KMALLOC_MIN_ALIGN is set to a value greater than 8 (SLUBs smallest
kmalloc cache) then SLUB may generate duplicate slabs in sysfs (yes again).
No arch sets ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN larger than 8 though excepts mips which
needs a 128 byte cache.
This patch increases the size of the smallest cache if ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
is greater than 8. In that case more and more of the smallest caches are
disabled.
