[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.
