mm, slab/slub: Ensure kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is available early
The memory allocators are available during early boot even in the phase where interrupts are disabled and scheduling is not yet possible. The setup is so that GFP_KERNEL allocations work in this phase without causing might_alloc() splats to be emitted because the system state is SYSTEM_BOOTING at that point which prevents the warnings to trigger. Most allocation/free functions use local_irq_save()/restore() or a lock variant of that. But kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and kmem_cache_free_bulk() use local_[lock]_irq_disable()/enable(), which leads to a lockdep warning when interrupts are enabled during the early boot phase. This went unnoticed so far as there are no early users of these interfaces. The upcoming conversion of the interrupt descriptor store from radix_tree to maple_tree triggered this warning as maple_tree uses the bulk interface. Cure this by moving the kmem_cache_alloc/free() bulk variants of SLUB and SLAB to local[_lock]_irq_save()/restore(). There is obviously no reclaim possible and required at this point so there is no need to expand this coverage further. No functional change.
