slub: initial bulk free implementation
This implements SLUB specific kmem_cache_free_bulk(). SLUB allocator now
both have bulk alloc and free implemented.
Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath __slab_free(). In
worst case, where all objects hit slowpath call, the performance should
still be faster than fallback function __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), because
local_irq_{disable+enable} is very fast (7-cycles), while the fallback
invokes this_cpu_cmpxchg() which is slightly slower (9-cycles).
Nitpicking, this should be faster for N>=4, due to the entry cost of
local_irq_{disable+enable}.
Do notice that the save+restore variant is very expensive, this is key to
why this optimization works.
