[PATCH] slab: removes local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() pair



Proposed by and based on a patch from Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>:
This patch removes unnecessary critical section in ksize() function, as
cli/sti are rather expensive on modern CPUS.

It additionally adds a docbook entry for ksize() and further simplifies the
code.
