Vlastimil Babka eecd7cb641 slab: fix slab accounting imbalance due to defer_deactivate_slab()
Since commit af92793e52 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and
kfree_nolock().") there's a possibility in alloc_single_from_new_slab()
that we discard the newly allocated slab if we can't spin and we fail to
trylock. As a result we don't perform inc_slabs_node() later in the
function. Instead we perform a deferred deactivate_slab() which can
either put the unacounted slab on partial list, or discard it
immediately while performing dec_slabs_node(). Either way will cause an
accounting imbalance.

Fix this by not marking the slab as frozen, and using free_slab()
instead of deactivate_slab() for non-frozen slabs in
free_deferred_objects(). For CONFIG_SLUB_TINY, that's the only possible
case. By not using discard_slab() we avoid dec_slabs_node().
