Subject: [PATCH] mm/slub: embed __slab_alloc to its caller

Since slab_alloc_node() is the only caller of __slab_alloc(), embed
__slab_alloc() to its caller to save function call overhead. This
will also expand the caller's code block size a bit, but hackbench
tests on both host and guest didn't show a difference w/ or w/o
this patch.

Also rename ___slab_alloc() to __slab_alloc().
