min_partial means minimum number of slab cached in node partial list. So, if nr_partial is less than it, we keep newly empty slab on node partial list rather than freeing it. But if nr_partial is equal or greater than it, it means that we have enough partial slabs so should free newly empty slab. Current implementation missed the equal case so if we set min_partial is 0, then, at least one slab could be cached. This is critical problem to kmemcg destroying logic because it doesn't works properly if some slabs is cached. This patch fixes this problem.
