Merge tag 'slab-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - SLAB deprecation:

   Following the discussion at LSF/MM 2023 [1] and no objections, the
   SLAB allocator is deprecated by renaming the config option (to make
   its users notice) to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
   SLUB should be used instead. Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB are
   also updated.

 - SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag (Jesper Dangaard Brouer):

   There are (very limited) cases where kmem_cache merging is
   undesirable, and existing ways to prevent it are hacky. Introduce a
   new flag to do that cleanly and convert the existing hacky users.
   Btrfs plans to use this for debug kernel builds (that use case is
   always fine), networking for performance reasons (that should be very
   rare).

 - Replace the usage of weak PRNGs (David Keisar Schmidt):

   In addition to using stronger RNGs for the security related features,
   the code is a bit cleaner.

 - Misc code cleanups (SeongJae Parki, Xiongwei Song, Zhen Lei, and
   zhaoxinchao)
