slub: move kmem_cache_node into it's own cacheline



This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local
kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache.
This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled.

On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/
hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average.  I
suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes
increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.
