[RFC PATCH 2/5] slub: Don't manipulate slab list when used by cpu

[chengming.zhou@xxxxxxxxx]

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We will change to don't freeze slab when moving it out of node partial
list in the following patch, so we can't rely on the frozen bit to
indicate if we should manipulate the slab list or not.

This patch use the introduced on_partial() helper, which check the
slab->flags that protected by node list_lock, so we can know if the
slab is on the node partial list.
