slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable
CPU partial support can introduce level of indeterminism that is not wanted in certain context (like a realtime kernel). Make it configurable. This patch is based on Christoph Lameter's "slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable V2".

+ bool "SLUB per cpu partial cache"
+ help
+ Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing
+ that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
+ in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
+ which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.
+ Typically one would choose no for a realtime system.
