Subject: [PATCH] slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug mode

Commit 442b06bcea23 ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a
call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which
unlocks the current slab used for allocation.  Going to the label
'unlock_out' then does it again.

Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the
'unlock_out' path does.  We always fall back to the slow path in the
debug case.  So the tid update is useless.

Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations.
Also a pretty useless thing.

So simply restore irq flags and return the object.
