ctor would make it esier to review the flow and guarantee that the object
always has certain fields set as required before any use by the subsystem.

ctors are run once on allocation of the slab page for all objects in it.

ctors are not called duiring allocation and freeing of objects from the
slab page. So we could avoid the intialization of the spinlock on each
object allocation which actually should be faster.
