slab: defer slab_destroy in free_block()
In free_block(), if freeing object makes new free slab and number of free_objects exceeds free_limit, we start to destroy this new free slab with holding the kmem_cache node lock. Holding the lock is useless and, generally, holding a lock as least as possible is good thing. I never measure performance effect of this, but we'd be better not to hold the lock as much as possible. Commented by Christoph: This is also good because kmem_cache_free is no longer called while holding the node lock. So we avoid one case of recursion.
