Subject: [PATCH] mm, slab: Drop unnecessary slabp->inuse < cachep->num test

From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@...fujitsu.com>

In function cache_alloc_refill, we have used BUG_ON to ensure
that slabp->inuse is less than cachep->num before the while
test. And in the while body, we do not change the value of
slabp->inuse and cachep->num, so it is not necessary to test
if slabp->inuse < cachep->num test for every loop.
