Security: smack: replace kzalloc with kmem_cache for inode_smack
The patch use kmem_cache to allocate/free inode_smack since they are
alloced in high volumes making it a perfect case for kmem_cache.
As per analysis, 24 bytes of memory is wasted per allocation due
to internal fragmentation. With kmem_cache, this can be avoided.
Accounting of memory allocation is below :
total slack net count-alloc/free caller
Before (with kzalloc)
1919872 719952 1919872 29998/0 new_inode_smack+0x14
After (with kmem_cache)
1201680 0 1201680 30042/0 new_inode_smack+0x18
>From above data, we found that 719952 bytes(~700 KB) of memory is
saved on allocation of 29998 smack inodes.
