Subject: [RFC 2/3] mm/slub: sort objects in cache by frequency of stack trace

From: Oliver Glitta <glittao@...il.com>

Sort objects in slub cache by the frequency of stack trace used
in object location in alloc_calls and free_calls implementation
in debugfs. Most frequently used stack traces will be the first.
