From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo....@lge.com>
Initial attemp to remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC is once reverted by
'commit edcad2509550 ("Revert "slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"")'
because it causes a problem on m68k which has many node
but !CONFIG_NUMA. In this case, although alien cache isn't used
at all but to cope with some initialization path, garbage value
is used and that is BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC. Now, this patch set
use_alien_caches to 0 when !CONFIG_NUMA, there is no initialization
path problem so we don't need BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC at all. So remove it.
