mm/slub.c: branch optimization in free slowpath
The two conditions are mutually exclusive and gcc compiler will optimise
this into if-else-like pattern. Given that the majority of free_slowpath
is free_frozen, let's provide some hint to the compilers.
Tests (perf bench sched messaging -g 20 -l 400000, executed 10x
after reboot) are done and the summarized result:
un-patched patched
max. 192.316 189.851
min. 187.267 186.252
avg. 189.154 188.086
stdev. 1.37 0.99
