[RFC 10/26] mm, slub: do initial checks in ___slab_alloc() with irqs enabled

[Vlastimil Babka]

As another step of shortening irq disabled sections in ___slab_alloc(), don't
disable irqs until doing initial checks if there is a cached percpu slab and
it's suitable for our allocation.

Now we have to recheck c->page after actually disabling irqs as an allocation
in irq might have replaced it.
