SLUB: Optimize cacheline use for zeroing
We touch a cacheline in the kmem_cache structure for zeroing to get the
size. However, the hot paths in slab_alloc and slab_free do not reference
any other fields in kmem_cache, so we may have to just bring in the
cacheline for this one access.
Add a new field to kmem_cache_cpu that contains the object size. That
cacheline must already be used in the hotpaths. So we save one cacheline
on every slab_alloc if we zero.
We need to update the kmem_cache_cpu object size if an aliasing operation
changes the objsize of an non debug slab.
