slub: Get rid of the node field

The node field is always page_to_nid(c->page). So its rather easy to
replace. Note that there maybe slightly more overhead in various hot paths
due to the need to shift the bits from page->flags. However, that is mostly
compensated for by a smaller footprint of the kmem_cache_cpu structure (this
patch reduces that to 3 words per cache) which allows better caching.

slob: Define page struct fields used in mm_types.h

Define the fields used by slob in mm_types.h and use struct page instead
of struct slob_page in slob. This cleans up numerous of typecasts in slob.c and
makes readers aware of slob's use of page struct fields.

[Also cleans up some bitrot in slob.c. The page struct field layout
in slob.c is an old layout and does not match the one in mm_types.h]

mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cache

Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators.
A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is
required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given.

After that it will be possible to share code that
only operates on those fields of kmem_cache.

The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and
uses the field namees for the other allocators.

It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in
allocators:

object_size	Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically
		the payload expected to be used by the subsystem.

size		The size of memory allocator for each object. This size
		is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment
		and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging
		and rcu).

slab/mempolicy: always use local policy from interrupt context

slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context.
However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy
is first freed and then the pointer zeroed.

Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt
will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random
mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change.

Just disable this here and always use local for slab
from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit
which always passed the same argument.

I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact,
so it's likely a regression.

v2: send version with correct logic
v3: simplify. fix typo.

slub: use __cmpxchg_double_slab() at interrupt disabled place

slub: refactoring unfreeze_partials()

Current implementation of unfreeze_partials() is so complicated,
but benefit from it is insignificant. In addition many code in
do {} while loop have a bad influence to a fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab.
Under current implementation which test status of cpu partial slab
and acquire list_lock in do {} while loop,
we don't need to acquire a list_lock and gain a little benefit
when front of the cpu partial slab is to be discarded, but this is a rare case.
In case that add_partial is performed and cmpxchg_double_slab is failed,
remove_partial should be called case by case.

I think that these are disadvantages of current implementation,
so I do refactoring unfreeze_partials().

Minimizing code in do {} while loop introduce a reduced fail rate
of cmpxchg_double_slab. Below is output of 'slabinfo -r kmalloc-256'
when './perf stat -r 33 hackbench 50 process 4000 > /dev/null' is done.

** before **
Cmpxchg_double Looping
------------------------
Locked Cmpxchg Double redos   182685
Unlocked Cmpxchg Double redos 0

** after **
Cmpxchg_double Looping
------------------------
Locked Cmpxchg Double redos   177995
Unlocked Cmpxchg Double redos 1

We can see cmpxchg_double_slab fail rate is improved slightly.

Bolow is output of './perf stat -r 30 hackbench 50 process 4000 > /dev/null'.
