Subject: slub: Remove CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL ifdeffery

Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.

There may be performance implications since:

A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches

B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.

There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback
case we only have to do one disable and enable like before.
