slub: improve bulk alloc strategy

slub: improve bulk alloc strategy

Call slowpath __slab_alloc() from within the bulk loop, as the side-effect
of this call likely repopulates c->freelist.

Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath.

Saving some optimizations for later.  E.g.  it is possible to extract
parts of __slab_alloc() and avoid the unnecessary and expensive (37
cycles) local_irq_{save,restore}.  For now, be happy calling
__slab_alloc() this lower icache impact of this func and I don't have to
worry about correctness.
