Subject[rfc: cpuops adv V1 7/8] slub: Add PageSlubPartial
The condition for a page being on the partial list is established by a set
of combinations of values in the page struct (inuse > 0 && freelist != NULL).

With the lockless updates that set may become temporarily incoherent.
Use an explit flag to signal that a page is on a partial list and allow
multiple adds and removes from the partial list.
