Subject: slub: Make the order configurable for each slab cache

Makes /sys/kernel/slab/<slabname>/order writable. The allocation
order of a slab cache can then be changed dynamically during runtime.
This can be used to override the objects per slabs value establisheed
with the slub_min_objects setting that was manually specified or
calculated on bootup.

The changes of the slab order can occur while allocate_slab() runs.
Allocate slab needs the order and the number of slab objects that
are both changed by the change of order. Both are put into
a single word (struct kmem_cache_order_objects). They can then
be atomically updated and retrieved.
