Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 3/9] slub: Keep track of whether slub is on the per-node partial list

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@...edance.com>

Now we rely on the "frozen" bit to see if we should manipulate the
slab->slab_list, which will be changed in the following patch.

Instead we introduce another way to keep track of whether slub is on
the per-node partial list, here we reuse the PG_workingset bit.

We use __set_bit and __clear_bit directly instead of the atomic version
for better performance and it's safe since it's protected by the slub
node list_lock.
