Preparatory, callers convert back to struct page for now. Also move setting page flags to alloc_slab_page() where we still operate on a struct page. This means the page->slab_cache pointer is now set later than the PageSlab flag, which could theoretically confuse some pfn walker assuming PageSlab means there would be a valid cache pointer. But as the code had no barriers and used __set_bit() anyway, it could have happened already, so there shouldn't be such a walker.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
