Subject[slub p4 2/7] slub: Remove useless statements in __slab_alloc
Two statements in __slab_alloc() do not have any effect.

1. c->page is already set to NULL by deactivate_slab() called right before.

2. gfpflags are masked in new_slab() before being passed to the page
allocator. There is no need to mask gfpflags in __slab_alloc in particular
since most frequent processing in __slab_alloc does not require the use of a
gfpmask.
