Siddha, Suresh B 1807a1aaf5 slab: skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable
Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid.  Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.

This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)
