[RFC PATCH v2 11/14] slub: Enable moving objects to/from specific nodes

[Tobin C. Harding]

We have just implemented Slab Movable Objects (object migration).
Currently object migration is used to defrag a cache.  On NUMA systems
it would be nice to be able to control the source and destination nodes
when moving objects.

Add CONFIG_SMO_NODE to guard this feature.  CONFIG_SMO_NODE depends on
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG because we use the full list.  Leave it like this for
the RFC because the patch will be less cluttered to review, separate
full list out of CONFIG_DEBUG before doing a PATCH version.

Implement moving all objects (including those in full slabs) to a
specific node.  Expose this functionality to userspace via a sysfs entry.

Add sysfs entry:

   /sysfs/kernel/slab/<cache>/move

With this users get access to the following functionality:

 - Move all objects to specified node.

   	echo "N1" > move

 - Move all objects from specified node to other specified
   node (from N1 -> to N2):

   	echo "N1 N2" > move

This also enables shrinking slabs on a specific node:

   	echo "N1 N1" > move
