Abel Wu c270cf3041 mm/slub.c: branch optimization in free slowpath
The two conditions are mutually exclusive and gcc compiler will optimise
this into if-else-like pattern.  Given that the majority of free_slowpath
is free_frozen, let's provide some hint to the compilers.

Tests (perf bench sched messaging -g 20 -l 400000, executed 10x
after reboot) are done and the summarized result:

	un-patched	patched
max.	192.316		189.851
min.	187.267		186.252
avg.	189.154		188.086
stdev.	1.37		0.99

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
