[PATCH] NUMA slab locking fixes: move color_next to l3
colour_next is used as an index to add a colouring offset to a new slab in the
cache (colour_off * colour_next). Now with the NUMA aware slab allocator, it
makes sense to colour slabs added on the same node sequentially with
colour_next.
This patch moves the colouring index "colour_next" per-node by placing it on
kmem_list3 rather than kmem_cache.
This also helps simplify locking for CPU up and down paths.
