Joonsoo Kim 6052b7880a mm/slab: don't keep free slabs if free_objects exceeds free_limit
Currently, determination to free a slab is done whenever each freed
object is put into the slab.  This has a following problem.

Assume free_limit = 10 and nr_free = 9.

Free happens as following sequence and nr_free changes as following.

free(become a free slab) free(not become a free slab) nr_free: 9 -> 10
(at first free) -> 11 (at second free)

If we try to check if we can free current slab or not on each object
free, we can't free any slab in this situation because current slab
isn't a free slab when nr_free exceed free_limit (at second free) even
if there is a free slab.

However, if we check it lastly, we can free 1 free slab.

This problem would cause to keep too much memory in the slab subsystem.
This patch try to fix it by checking number of free object after all
free work is done.  If there is free slab at that time, we can free slab
as much as possible so we keep free slab as minimal.
