    mm/slab: separate cache_grow() to two parts · 76b342bd

    This is a preparation step to implement lockless allocation path when
    there is no free objects in kmem_cache.
    
    What we'd like to do here is to refill cpu cache without holding a node
    lock.  To accomplish this purpose, refill should be done after new slab
    allocation but before attaching the slab to the management list.  So,
    this patch separates cache_grow() to two parts, allocation and attaching
    to the list in order to add some code inbetween them in the following
    patch.
