[slubllv6 07/17] slub: explicit list_lock taking

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Thu May 26 2011 - 14:15:36 EST


The allocator fastpath rework does change the usage of the list_lock.
Remove the list_lock processing from the functions that hide them from the
critical sections and move them into those critical sections.

This in turn simplifies the support functions (no __ variant needed anymore)
and simplifies the lock handling on bootstrap.
