Merge tag 'slab-for-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Convert struct slab to its own flags instead of referencing page
   flags, which is another preparation step before separating it from
   struct page completely.

   Along with that, a bunch of documentation fixes and cleanups (Matthew
   Wilcox)

 - Convert large kmalloc to use frozen pages in order to be consistent
   with non-large kmalloc slabs (Vlastimil Babka)

 - MAINTAINERS updates (Matthew Wilcox, Lorenzo Stoakes)

 - Restore NUMA policy support for large kmalloc, broken by mistake in
   v6.1 (Vlastimil Babka)
