slub: move kmem_cache_node into it's own cacheline
This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache. This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled. On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/ hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.
