[PATCH] patch-slab-split-03-tail

From: Manfred Spraul (manfred@colorfullife.com)

part 3:
[depends on -02-SMP]

If an object is freed from a slab, then move the slab to the tail of the
partial list - this should increase the probability that the other
objects from the same page are freed, too, and that a page can be
returned to gfp later.

The cpu arrays are now always in front of the list, i.e. cache hit rates
should not matter.

Please apply
