Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)

   Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
   exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
   in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
   slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
   shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
   can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
   reusing the PG_workingset flag.

   This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0
   ("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
   fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
   and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
   amplifies the lock contention and can fail.

   As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
   stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec

 - SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)

   The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
   objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
   which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.

   This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
   code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
   gradually (some series are already in the works).

   Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
   optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
   implementation.
