Subject: mm, slub: fix kmem_cache_cpu fields alignment for double cmpxchg

Sven Eckelmann reports [1] that the addition of local_lock to kmem_cache_cpu
breaks a config with 64BIT+LOCK_STAT:

    ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! ]---

Decoding the RIP points to this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() call in slab_alloc_node().

The problem is the particular size of local_lock_t with LOCK_STAT resulting
in the following layout:

struct kmem_cache_cpu {
        local_lock_t               lock;                 /*     0    56 */
        void * *                   freelist;             /*    56     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        long unsigned int          tid;                  /*    64     8 */
        struct page *              page;                 /*    72     8 */
        struct page *              partial;              /*    80     8 */

        /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
        /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

As pointed out by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, this_cpu_cmpxchg_double()
needs the freelist and tid fields to be aligned to sum of their sizes
(16 bytes) but they are not in this configuration. This didn't happen
with non-debug RT and !RT configs as well as lockdep.

To fix this, move the lock field below partial field, so that it doesn't
affect the layout.
