One that is never ever included by userspace and thus does not need the 
guard clause.

I don't think <linux/slab.h> should have either but I suppose there can be 
other (broken) headers that include it and thus its safer not to remove 
the guard clause just yet. However, if you wrap the include of 
<linux/kmalloc.h> header inside the existing guard then we should be fine, 
no?
