nit: slabs added to this list are not partially used - they are free, so
let's call it 'free_slabs' or 'discard_list' or just 'discard', please

If there are objects left in the cache on destruction, the cache won't
be destroyed. Instead it will be left on the slab_list and can get
reused later. So we should use list_move() here to always leave
n->partial in a consistent state, even in case of a leak.
