[PATCH v6 15/33] mm, slub: validate slab from partial list or page allocator before making it cpu slab

[Vlastimil Babka]

When we obtain a new slab page from node partial list or page allocator, we
assign it to kmem_cache_cpu, perform some checks, and if they fail, we undo
the assignment.

In order to allow doing the checks without irq disabled, restructure the code
so that the checks are done first, and kmem_cache_cpu.page assignment only
after they pass.
