[RFC PATCH] mm/slab: Avoid build bug for calls to kmalloc with a large constant

[Dave Kleikamp]

When boot-time page size is enabled, the test against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE
is no longer optimized out with a constant size, so a build bug may
occur on a path that won't be reached.

Found compiling drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_sriov.c

Ryan,

Please consider incorporating this fix or something similar into your
mm patch in the boot-time pages size patches.
