commit 25928deeb1e4e2cdae1dccff349320c6841eb5f8 upstream.
ACPICA commit 29da9a2a3f5b2c60420893e5c6309a0586d7a329
ACPI is allocating an object using kmalloc(), but then frees it using kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>).
This is wrong and can lead to boot failures manifesting like this:

Bisection leads to unrelated changes in slab; Vlastimil Babka suggests an unrelated layout or slab merge change merely exposed the underlying bug.
