Subject: [PATCH 22/22] slab: Use nr_online_nodes to check for a NUMA platform

SLAB currently avoids checking a bitmap repeatedly by checking once and
storing a flag. When the addition of nr_online_nodes as a cheaper version
of num_online_nodes(), this check can be replaced by nr_online_nodes.

(Christoph did a patch that this is lifted almost verbatim from, hence the
first Signed-off-by. Christoph, can you confirm you're ok with that?)
