This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB)
if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL.
Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond
kmalloc_caches[26] arrays.
Nice, thanks. Pekka, please grab.

Grabbed, thanks a lot Andrew!
