As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.

In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

Technically, removing these lines from the defconfig files does not
have any impact, right?
And it removes one more sync point indicating the last time some
defconfig files were (not) updated by their maintainers ;-)

Well, it doesn't, but I thought it's at least a useful heads-up for the
maintainers in case some have specific reasons for keeping SLAB there.

Sure, I can exclude yours (and anyone else who'd prefer that), the ack on
the deprecation itself is sufficient.

Thank you for the work!
It looks good to me.
let's see some users raise their voice.

The Kconfig option says that SLAB will be removed in a few cycles.  I 
think we should wait until at least the next LTS kernel is forked at the 
end of the year so that users who upgrade to only the LTS releases can be 
prompted for this change and surface any concerns.  Slab allocation is a
