Mathias Krause 565f0fa902 xfrm: use a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state
struct xfrm_state is rather large (768 bytes here) and therefore wastes
quite a lot of memory as it falls into the kmalloc-1024 slab cache,
leaving 256 bytes of unused memory per XFRM state object -- a net waste
of 25%.

Using a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state reduces the level of
internal fragmentation to a minimum.

On my configuration SLUB chooses to create a slab cache covering 4
pages holding 21 objects, resulting in an average memory waste of ~13
bytes per object -- a net waste of only 1.6%.

In my tests this led to memory savings of roughly 2.3MB for 10k XFRM
states.
