[PATCH v6 21/33] mm, slub: move irq control into unfreeze_partials()

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Sat Sep 04 2021 - 06:52:08 EST


unfreeze_partials() can be optimized so that it doesn't need irqs disabled for
the whole time. As the first step, move irq control into the function and
remove it from the put_cpu_partial() caller.
