Are you sure this is really needed and the other 3 patches are not enough for
the current SLUB code to work as needed? It seems you are changing the semantics
here...

I.e. here in this if(), now node will never equal NUMA_NO_NODE (thanks to the
hunk below), thus the get_any_partial() call becomes dead code?
