Subject: [PATCH 11/14] mm: Micro-optimise slab to avoid a function call

Getting and putting objects in SLAB currently requires a function call
but the bulk of the work is related to PFMEMALLOC reserves which are
only consumed when network-backed storage is critical. Use an inline
function to determine if the function call is required.
