Define "COMMON" to include definitions for fields used in all slab allocators. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. The slob definition of kmem_cache is moved from slob.c to slob_def.h so that the location of the kmem_cache definition is the same for all allocators.
