mm/slab: factor out unlikely part of cache_free_alien()
cache_free_alien() is rarely used function when node mismatch. But, it is
defined with inline attribute so it is inlined to __cache_free() which is
core free function of slab allocator. It uselessly makes
kmem_cache_free()/kfree() functions large. What we really need to inline
is just checking node match so this patch factor out other parts of
cache_free_alien() to reduce code size of kmem_cache_free()/ kfree().
<Before>
nm -S mm/slab.o | grep -e "T kfree" -e "T kmem_cache_free"
00000000000011e0 0000000000000228 T kfree
0000000000000670 0000000000000216 T kmem_cache_free
<After>
nm -S mm/slab.o | grep -e "T kfree" -e "T kmem_cache_free"
0000000000001110 00000000000001b5 T kfree
0000000000000750 0000000000000181 T kmem_cache_free
You can see slightly reduced size of text: 0x228->0x1b5, 0x216->0x181.
