Subject: Re: [RT LATENCY] 249 microsecond latency caused by slub's
 unfreeze_partials() code.

I just ran some quick tests and the following seems to work.

Critical portions that need additional review (Joonsoo?) are the
modifications to get_partialinode() and __slab_free().


Subject: slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable V2

cpu partial support can introduce level of indeterminism that is not wanted
in certain context (like a realtime kernel). Make it configurable.
