Hi,

This series include a minor optimization of cpu partial slab fastpath,
which directly load freelist from cpu partial slab in the likely case.

It has small performance improvement in testing:
perf bench sched messaging -g 5 -t -l 100000

mm-stable slub-optimize
Total time 7.473 7.209

The other two patches are cleanups, which are included for convenience.

Thanks for review and comment!
