slub: initial bulk free implementation
This implements SLUB specific kmem_cache_free_bulk(). SLUB allocator now both have bulk alloc and free implemented. Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath __slab_free(). In worst case, where all objects hit slowpath call, the performance should still be faster than fallback function __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), because local_irq_{disable+enable} is very fast (7-cycles), while the fallback invokes this_cpu_cmpxchg() which is slightly slower (9-cycles). Nitpicking, this should be faster for N>=4, due to the entry cost of local_irq_{disable+enable}. Do notice that the save+restore variant is very expensive, this is key to why this optimization works.
