After pcp adding, add_partial just be used in put_cpu_partial ->
unfreeze_partial without debug setting. If we need to do change, guess
it's better in this function.
BTW
I collection some data with my PCP statistics patch. I will be very glad
if you like it.

Subject: [PATCH] slub: per cpu partial statistics collection
PCP statistics were not collected in detail now. Add and change some variables
for this.
changed:
cpu_partial_alloc --> alloc_from_pcp,
cpu_partial_free --> pcp_from_free, /* pcp refilled from slab free */
added:
pcp_from_node, /* pcp refilled from node partial */
unfreeze_pcp, /* unfreeze pcp */
