      slab: use deferable timers for its periodic housekeeping · 78b43536
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      slab has a "once every 2 second" timer for its housekeeping.
      As the number of logical processors is growing, its more and more
      common that this 2 second timer becomes the primary wakeup source.
      
      This patch turns this housekeeping timer into a deferable timer,
      which means that the timer does not interrupt idle, but just runs
      at the next event that wakes the cpu up.
      
      The impact is that the timer likely runs a bit later, but during the
      delay no code is running so there's not all that much reason for
      a difference in housekeeping to occur because of this delay.
