[slubllv3 12/21] slub: explicit list_lock taking

[Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: unlock_list_ops --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6092 bytes --]

The allocator fastpath rework does change the usage of the list_lock.
Remove the list_lock processing from the functions that hide them from the
critical sections and move them into those critical sections.

This is turn simplifies the support functions (no __ variant needed anymore)
and simplifies the lock handling on bootstrap.
