In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

slub/kunit: fix a WARNING due to unwrapped __kmalloc_cache_noprof

'modprobe slub_kunit' will have a warning as shown below. The root cause
is that __kmalloc_cache_noprof was directly used, which resulted in no
alloc_tag being allocated. This caused current->alloc_tag to be null,
leading to a warning in alloc_tag_add_check.

Let's add an alloc_hook layer to __kmalloc_cache_noprof specifically
within lib/slub_kunit.c, which is the only user of this internal slub
function outside kmalloc implementation itself.
