From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
commit fd4d9c7d0c71866ec0c2825189ebd2ce35bd95b8 upstream.
When kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() attempts to allocate N objects from a percpu freelist of length M, and N > M > 0, it will first remove the M elements from the percpu freelist, then call ___slab_alloc() to allocate the next element and repopulate the percpu freelist. ___slab_alloc() can re-enable IRQs via allocate_slab(), so the TID must be bumped before ___slab_alloc() to properly commit the freelist head change.
Fix it by unconditionally bumping c->tid when entering the slowpath.
