Subject: [PATCH 2/2][RESEND] slab: avoid unnecessary touching of a partial slab

In cache_alloc_refill(), after refilling from a partial slab, if the
slab remains partial, it would be deleted from and then added again to
the partial list. As the slab is the first element in the list before
deletion, such behavior has no effect. This patch avoids touching the
slab in this case.
