mm, slab: faster active and free stats

Browse Source 
Reading /proc/slabinfo or monitoring slabtop(1) can become very
expensive if there are many slab caches and if there are very lengthy
per-node partial and/or free lists.

Commit 07a63c41fa ("mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo
stats") addressed the per-node full lists which showed a significant
improvement when no objects were freed.  This patch has the same
motivation and optimizes the remainder of the usecases where there are
very lengthy partial and free lists.

This patch maintains per-node active_slabs (full and partial) and
free_slabs rather than iterating the lists at runtime when reading
/proc/slabinfo.

When allocating 100GB of slab from a test cache where every slab page is
on the partial list, reading /proc/slabinfo (includes all other slab
caches on the system) takes ~247ms on average with 48 samples.

As a result of this patch, the same read takes ~0.856ms on average.
