[RFC,5/5] slub: Introduce get_cpu_partial()

Commit Message

From: Chengming Zhou <[e-mail]>

Since the slabs on cpu partial list are not frozen anymore, we introduce
get_cpu_partial() to get a frozen slab with its freelist from cpu partial
list. It's now much like getting a frozen slab with its freelist from
node partial list.

Another change is about get_partial(), which can return no frozen slab
when all slabs are failed when acquire_slab(), but get some unfreeze slabs
in its cpu partial list, so we need to check this rare case to avoid
allocating a new slab.
