Get rid of private "nmi_save_areas" slab cache. The only reason this was introduced years ago was that with some slab debugging options allocations would only guarantee a minimum alignment of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, which was eight bytes back then. This is not sufficient for the extended machine check save area. However since commit 59bb4798 ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)") kmalloc guarantees a power-of-two alignment even with debugging options enabled. Therefore the private slab cache can be removed.
