There is no a value assigned to slub_min_objects by default, it awlays
is 0 that is intailized by compiler if no assigned value by command line.
min_objects is calculated based on proccessor numbers in
calculate_order(). For more details, see commit 9b2cd506e5f2 ("slub:
Calculate min_objects based on number of processors.")

nit: multiple spelling mistakes here. Please double-check commit logs
with a spell checker. :)
