alloc_kmemlist: Some cleanup in preparation for a real memory leak fix Inspired by Jesper Juhl's patch from today 1. Get rid of err We do not set it to anything else but zero. 2. Drop the CONFIG_NUMA stuff. There are definitions for alloc_alien_cache and free_alien_cache() that do the right thing for the non NUMA case. 3. Better naming of variables. 4. Remove redundant cachep->nodelists[node] expressions.
