Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mm/slub: some minor optimization and cleanup

Changes in v2:
- Add VM_BUG_ON(!freelist) after get_freelist() for cpu partial slab case,
  since it's not possible to happen for this case.
- Collect tags.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240117-slab-misc-v1-0-fd1c49ccbe70@bytedance.com

Hi,

This series include a minor optimization of cpu partial slab fastpath,
which directly load freelist from cpu partial slab in the likely case.

It has small performance improvement in testing:
perf bench sched messaging -g 5 -t -l 100000

            mm-stable   slub-optimize
Total time      7.473    7.209

The other two patches are cleanups, which are included for convenience.

Thanks for review and comment!
