mm/slub.c: pack red_left_pad with another int to save a word
Patch series "try to save some memory for kmem_cache in some cases", v2. kmem_cache is a frequently used data in kernel. During the code reading, I found maybe we could save some space in some cases. 1. On 64bit arch, type int will occupy a word if it doesn't sit well. 2. cpu_slab->partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set 3. cpu_partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set, while just save some space on 32bit arch. This patch (of 3): On 64bit arch, struct is 8-bytes aligned, so int will occupy a word if it doesn't sit well. This patch pack red_left_pad with reserved to save 8 bytes for struct kmem_cache on a 64bit arch.
