[PATCH] lockdep: annotate SLAB code

Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.  Has no effect
on non-lockdep kernels.

Fix initialize-locks-via-memcpy assumptions.

Effects on non-lockdep kernels: the subclass nesting parameter is passed into
cache_free_alien() and __cache_free(), and turns one internal
kmem_cache_free() call into an open-coded __cache_free() call.
