It's actually right the way I implemented it, oo_objects(s->oo) will be 0
when this is called for kmem_cache_open() meaning there is no preexisting
slab_thrash_ratio. But this check is required when calculate_sizes() is
called from order_store() to adjust the slab_thrash_ratio for the new
objects per slab. The above check is saving the old thrash ratio so
the new s->min_free_watermark value can be set following the
oo_make(). This was mentioned in the changelog for this patch:

The value is stored in terms of the number of objects that the
ratio represents, not the ratio itself. This avoids costly
arithmetic in the slowpath for a calculation that could otherwise
be done only when `slab_thrash_ratio' or `order' is changed.
