From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
As explained by Christoph Lameter, ext3_alloc_inode() touches the same
cache line as init_once() so we gain nothing from using slab
constructors. The SLUB allocator will be more effective without it
(free pointer can be placed inside the free'd object), so move inode
initialization to ext3_alloc_inode completely.
