[PATCH 1/4] slub: change declare of get_slab() to inline at all times

[Joonsoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com>]

__kmalloc and it's variants are invoked much frequently
and these are performance critical functions,
so their callee functions are declared '__always_inline'
But, currently, get_slab() isn't declared '__always_inline'.
In result, __kmalloc and it's variants call get_slab() on x86.
It is not desirable result, so change it to inline at all times.
