     ("SLUB: Pass active
    and inactive redzone flags instead of boolean to debug functions")
    missed two instances of check_object(). This caused a lot of warnings
    during 'slabinfo -v' finally leading to a crash:
    
      BUG ext4_xattr: Freepointer corrupt
      ...
      BUG buffer_head: Freepointer corrupt
      ...
      BUG ext4_alloc_context: Freepointer corrupt
      ...

    This patch fixes the problem by converting the two missed instances.
