mm/slub: simplify __cmpxchg_double_slab() and slab_[un]lock()

tehcaster · tehcaster · commit 5875e59828a0 · 2022-09-17T00:18:35.000+02:00
The PREEMPT_RT specific disabling of irqs in __cmpxchg_double_slab()
(through slab_[un]lock()) is unnecessary as bit_spin_lock() disables
preemption and that's sufficient on PREEMPT_RT where no allocation/free
operation is performed in hardirq context and so can't interrupt the
current operation.

That means we no longer need the slab_[un]lock() wrappers, so delete
them and rename the current __slab_[un]lock() to slab_[un]lock().
