[RFC 07/26] mm, slub: return slab page from get_partial() and set c->page afterwards

[Vlastimil Babka]

The function get_partial() finds a suitable page on a partial list, acquires
and returns its freelist and assigns the page pointer to kmem_cache_node.
In later patch we will need more control over the kmem_cache_node assignment,
so instead return the page pointer to get_partial()'s caller and assign it
there. No functional change as all of this still happens with disabled irq.
