Subject[patch 01/19] slub: Add defrag_ratio field and sysfs support.
The defrag_ratio is used to set the threshold at which defragmentation
should be attempted on a slab page.

The allocation ratio is measured by the percentage of the available slots
allocated.

Add a defrag ratio field and set it to 30% by default. A limit of 30% specified
that less than 3 out of 10 available slots for objects are in use before
slab defragmeentation runs.
