Make deactivation occur implicitly while checking out the current freelist.

This avoids one cmpxchg operation on a slab that is now fully in use.

Slub reloads the per cpu slab if the page does not satisfy the NUMA condition. Track
those reloads since doing so has a performance impact.

Every slab has its on alignment definition in include/linux/sl?b_def.h. Extract those
and define a common set in include/linux/slab.h.

SLOB: As notes sometimes we need double word alignment on 32 bit. This gives all
structures allocated by SLOB a unsigned long long alignment like the others do.

SLAB: If ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is not set SLAB would set ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN to
zero meaning no alignment at all. Give it the default unsigned long long alignment.

<title>slub: Deal with hyperthetical case of PAGE_SIZE &gt; 2M</title>

kmalloc_index() currently returns -1 if the PAGE_SIZE is larger than 2M
which seems to cause some concern since the callers do not check for -1.

Insert a BUG() and add a comment to the -1 explaining that the code
cannot be reached.

Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.

There may be performance implications since:

A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches

B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.

There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback
case we only have to do one disable and enable like before.
