Subject: mm, slub: remove redundant unfreeze_partials() from put_cpu_partial()

Commit d6e0b7fa1186 ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs
immediately") introduced cpu partial flushing for kmemcg caches, based on
setting the target cpu_partial to 0 and adding a flushing check in
put_cpu_partial().  This code that sets cpu_partial to 0 was later moved
by c9fc586403e7 ("slab: introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()") and
ultimately removed by 9855609bde03 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of
kmem_caches for all accounted allocations").  However the check and flush
in put_cpu_partial() was never removed, although it's effectively a dead
code.  So this patch removes it.

Note that d6e0b7fa1186 also added preempt_disable()/enable() to
unfreeze_partials() which could be thus also considered unnecessary.  But
further patches will rely on it, so keep it.
