[PATCH v2 2/2] SLUB: Mark merged slab caches in /proc/slabinfo

[Pekka Enberg]

SLUB uses the name of the first slab cache for all merged slab caches. To make
the output of /proc/slabinfo more obvious, append the name of each merged slab
cache to s->name.

An example output of /proc/slabinfo with this patch looks like this:

  kmalloc-8192         544    544   8192    4    8 : tunables    0
