SLUB: Do not use page->mapping
After moving the lockless_freelist to kmem_cache_cpu we no longer need page->lockless_freelist. Restructure the use of the struct page fields in such a way that we never touch the mapping field. This is turn allows us to remove the special casing of SLUB when determining the mapping of a page (needed for corner cases of virtual caches machines that need to flush caches of processors mapping a page).
