From: David Windsor <dave@nullcore.net>

Mark the kmalloc slab caches as entirely whitelisted.  These
caches are frequently used to fulfill kernel allocations that contain
data to be copied to/from userspace.  It is impossible to know
at build time what objects will be contained in these caches,
so the entire cache is whitelisted.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
