slub: Keep track of whether slub is on the per-node partial list

Browse source

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 have to use the atomic set_bit() and clear_bit() variants and change
slab_unlock() to bit_spin_unlock() because when cmpxchg is not available
and PG_lock is used, there may be concurrent operations on the two bits.
Thanks to Mark Brown for reporting a hang and testing of a previous
version where the non-atomic operations were used.
