mm, slub: remove percpu slabs with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY
SLUB gets most of its scalability by percpu slabs. However for CONFIG_SLUB_TINY the goal is minimal memory overhead, not scalability. Thus, #ifdef out the whole kmem_cache_cpu percpu structure and associated code. Additionally to the slab page savings, this reduces percpu allocator usage, and code size. This change builds on recent commit c7323a5a ("mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe"), as caches with enabled debugging also avoid percpu slabs and all allocations and freeing ends up working with the partial list. With a bit more refactoring by the preceding patches, use the same code paths with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.
