[this_cpu_xx V6 7/7] this_cpu: slub aggressive use of this_cpu operations in the hotpaths

[cl]

Use this_cpu_* operations in the hotpath to avoid calculations of
kmem_cache_cpu pointer addresses.

On x86 there is a trade off: Multiple uses segment prefixes against an
address calculation and more register pressure. Code size is reduced
also therefore it is an advantage icache wise.

The use of prefixes is necessary if we want to use a scheme
for fastpaths that do not require disabling interrupts.
