mm, slub: do initial checks in ___slab_alloc() with irqs enabled

As another step of shortening irq disabled sections in ___slab_alloc(), delay
disabling irqs until we pass the initial checks if there is a cached percpu
slab and it's suitable for our allocation.

Now we have to recheck c->page after actually disabling irqs as an allocation
in irq handler might have replaced it.

Because we call pfmemalloc_match() as one of the checks, we might hit
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageSlab(page)) in PageSlabPfmemalloc in case we get
interrupted and the page is freed. Thus introduce a pfmemalloc_match_unsafe()
variant that lacks the PageSlab check.
