Vlastimil Babka c33196c942 slab: use struct freelist_counters as parameters in relevant functions
In functions such as [__]slab_update_freelist() and
__slab_update_freelist_fast/slow() we pass old and new freelist and
counters as 4 separate parameters. The underlying
__update_freelist_fast() then constructs struct freelist_counters
variables for passing the full freelist+counter combinations to cmpxchg
double.

In most cases we actually start with struct freelist_counters variables,
but then pass the individual fields, only to construct new struct
freelist_counters variables. While it's all inlined and thus should be
efficient, we can simplify this code.

Thus replace the 4 parameters for individual fields with two pointers to
struct freelist_counters wherever applicable. __update_freelist_fast()
can then pass them directly to try_cmpxchg_freelist().

The code is also more obvious as the pattern becomes unified such that
we set up "old" and "new" struct freelist_counters variables upfront as
we fully need them to be, and simply call [__]slab_update_freelist() on
them.  Previously some of the "new" values would be hidden among the
many parameters and thus make it harder to figure out what the code
does.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
