mm/slub: optimize free fast path code layout



Inspection of kmem_cache_free() disassembly showed we could make the
fast path smaller by providing few more hints to the compiler, and
splitting the memcg_slab_free_hook() into an inline part that only
checks if there's work to do, and an out of line part doing the actual
uncharge.

bloat-o-meter results:
add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 286/-554 (-268)
Function                                     old     new   delta
__memcg_slab_free_hook                         -     270    +270
__pfx___memcg_slab_free_hook                   -      16     +16
kfree                                        828     665    -163
kmem_cache_free                             1116     948    -168
kmem_cache_free_bulk.part                   1701    1478    -223

Checking kmem_cache_free() disassembly now shows the non-fastpath
cases are handled out of line, which should reduce instruction cache
usage.
