I am suspecting that this patch was authored by Randy. But there was
no From: line at start-of-changelog to communicate this?

It seems a bit wrong to include a fairly high-level memcontol.h into a
fairly low-level slab.h, but I expect it will work.
I can't really see how
mm-slab_common-move-kmem_cache-definition-to-internal-header.patch
caused the breakage. I don't know how you were triggering this build
failure - please always include such info in the changelogs.
