From: Chengming Zhou <chengming.zhou@xxxxxxxxx> We already have the inc_slabs_node() after kmem_cache_node->node[node] initialized in early_kmem_cache_node_alloc(), this special case of inc_slabs_node() can be removed. Then we don't need to consider the existence of kmem_cache_node in inc_slabs_node() anymore.
