mm/slub: refactor deactivate_slab()

Simplify deactivate_slab() by unlocking n->list_lock and retrying
cmpxchg_double() when cmpxchg_double() fails, and perform
add_{partial,full} only when it succeed.

Releasing and taking n->list_lock again here is not harmful as SLUB
avoids deactivating slabs as much as possible.

[ vbabka@suse.cz: perform add_{partial,full} when cmpxchg_double()
  succeed.

  count deactivating full slabs even if debugging flag is not set. ]
