Subject: Fix almost-infinite slab cache growing
References: bnc#554081
Patch-mainline: never
If we get into cache_alloc_refill() with must_refill set, we end up in an
almost endless loop adding more and more pages to the slab. The loop can be
broken only by a failure to allocate more pages or an interrupt refilling the
slab's allocation cache.
Fix the issue by jumping to a more appropriate place when the allocation cache
is not refilled by an interrupt.
