slub: return object pointer from get_partial() / new_slab().
There is no need anymore to return the pointer to a slab page from get_partial() since the page reference can be stored in the kmem_cache_cpu structures "page" field. Return an object pointer instead. That in turn allows a simplification of the spaghetti code in __slab_alloc().
