[PATCH v3 1/9] slab: add unlikely macro to help compiler

[Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>]

slab_should_failslab() is called on every allocation, so to optimize it
is reasonable. We normally don't allocate from kmem_cache. It is just
used when new kmem_cache is created, so it's very rare case. Therefore,
add unlikely macro to help compiler optimization.
