[RFC PATCH v5 03/16] slub: Sort slab cache list

["Tobin C. Harding" <tobin@kernel.org>]

It is advantageous to have all defragmentable slabs together at the
beginning of the list of slabs so that there is no need to scan the
complete list. Put defragmentable caches first when adding a slab cache
and others last.
