[RFC PATCH v2 1/6] slub: Keep track of whether slub is on the per-node partial list

[chengming . zhou]

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Now we rely on the "frozen" bit to see if we should manipulate the
slab->slab_list, which will be changed in the following patch.

Instead we introduce another way to keep track of whether slub is on
the per-node partial list, here we reuse the PG_workingset bit.
