debugobjects: Refill per CPU pool more agressively

Right now the per CPU pools are only refilled when they become
empty. That's suboptimal especially when there are still non-freed objects
in the to free list.

Check whether an allocation from the per CPU pool emptied a batch and try
to allocate from the free pool if that still has objects available.

kmem_cache_alloc() kmem_cache_free()
Baseline: 295k 245k
Refill: 225k 173k
