mm, slub: splice cpu and page freelists in deactivate_slab()

In deactivate_slab() we currently move all but one objects on the cpu
freelist to the page freelist one by one using the costly cmpxchg_double()
operation.  Then we unfreeze the page while moving the last object on page
freelist, with a final cmpxchg_double().

This can be optimized to avoid the cmpxchg_double() per object.  Just
count the objects on cpu freelist (to adjust page->inuse properly) and
also remember the last object in the chain.  Then splice page->freelist to
the last object and effectively add the whole cpu freelist to
page->freelist while unfreezing the page, with a single cmpxchg_double().
