[PATCH 3/6] change alloc function in alloc_slab_page

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Apr 13 2010 - 11:28:29 EST


alloc_slab_page never calls alloc_pages_node with -1.
It means node's validity check is unnecessary.
So we can use alloc_pages_exact_node instead of alloc_pages_node.
It could avoid comparison and branch as 6484eb3e2a81807722 tried.
