SLUB: Fix default slab order for big object sizes
The default order of kmalloc-8192 on 2*4 stoakley is an issue of
calculate_order.
slab_size order name
-------------------------------------------------
4096 3 sgpool-128
8192 2 kmalloc-8192
16384 3 kmalloc-16384
kmalloc-8192's default order is smaller than sgpool-128's.
On 4*4 tigerton machine, a similiar issue appears on another kmem_cache.
Function calculate_order uses 'min_objects /= 2;' to shrink. Plus size
calculation/checking in slab_order, sometimes above issue appear.
Below patch against 2.6.29-rc2 fixes it.
I checked the default orders of all kmem_cache and they don't become
smaller than before. So the patch wouldn't hurt performance.
