Linus Torvalds e2bd1b1369 A single fix for debugobjects.
The deferred page initialization prevents debug objects from allocating
 slab pages until the initialization is complete. That causes depletion of
 the pool and disabling of debugobjects.
 
 The reason is that debugobjects uses __GFP_HIGH for allocations as it might
 be invoked from arbitrary contexts. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled there is
 no way to know whether the context is safe to set __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
 
 This worked until v6.18. Since then allocations w/o a reclaim flag cause
 new_slab() to end up in alloc_frozen_pages_nolock_noprof(), which returns
 early when deferred page initialization has not yet completed.
 
 Work around that when PREEMPT_COUNT is enabled as the preempt counter
 allows debugobjects to add __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to the GFP flags when the
 context is preemtible. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled the context is
 unknown and the reclaim bit can't be set because the caller might hold
 locks which might deadlock in the allocator.
 
 That makes debugobjects depend on PREEMPT_COUNT || !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT,
 which limits the coverage slightly, but keeps it functional for most cases.
