Christoph Lameter e00946fe23 [PATCH] slab: Bypass free lists for __drain_alien_cache() ...

__drain_alien_cache() currently drains objects by freeing them to the
(remote) freelists of the original node.  However, each node also has a
shared list containing objects to be used on any processor of that node.
We can avoid a number of remote node accesses by copying the pointers to
the free objects directly into the remote shared array.

And while we are at it: Skip alien draining if the alien cache spinlock is
already taken.

Kiran reported that this is a performance benefit.
