Subject: slub: remove obsolete comments of put_cpu_partial()
d6e0b7fa1186 ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately")
makes put_cpu_partial() run with preemption disabled and interrupts
disabled when calling unfreeze_partials().
The comment: "put_cpu_partial() is done without interrupts disabled and
without preemption disabled" looks obsolete, so remove it.
