[PATCH 1/1] Security : smack : Use kmem_cache for allocation and freeing of inode_smack

[Rohit Kumar <rohit.kr@samsung.com>]

From: Rohit <rohit.kr@samsung.com>

Use kmem_cache to allocate/free inode_smack since they are
alloced in high volumes making it a perfect case for kmem_cache.

Accounting of memory allocation is below :
 total           slack            net      count-alloc/free        caller
Before (with kzalloc)
1919872           719952          1919872      29998/0          new_inode_smack+0x14
After (with kmem_cache)
1201680                0          1201680      30042/0          new_inode_smack+0x18
