In preparation for enabling defragmentation of slab pages. "defrag_used_ratio" is used to set the threshold at which defragmentation should be attempted on a slab page. "defrag_used_ratio" is a percentage in the range of 0 - 100 (inclusive). If less than that percentage of slots in a slab page are in use then the slab page will become subject to defragmentation. Add a defrag ratio field and set it to 30% by default. A limit of 30% specifies that more than 3 out of 10 available slots for objects need to be in use otherwise slab defragmentation will be attempted on the remaining objects.
