mm/slab: fix stale code comment

This patchset implements a new freed object management way, that is,
OBJFREELIST_SLAB.  Purpose of it is to reduce memory overhead in SLAB.

SLAB needs a array to manage freed objects in a slab.  If there is
leftover after objects are packed into a slab, we can use it as a
management array, and, in this case, there is no memory waste.  But, in
the other cases, we need to allocate extra memory for a management array
or utilize dedicated internal memory in a slab for it.  Both cases
causes memory waste so it's not good.

With this patchset, freed object itself can be used for a management
array.  So, memory waste could be reduced.  Detailed idea and numbers
are described in last patch's commit description.  Please refer it.

In fact, I tested another idea implementing OBJFREELIST_SLAB with
extendable linked array through another freed object.  It can remove
memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in
critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit.  So,
this patchset doesn't include it.  I will attach prototype just for a
reference.

This patch (of 16):

We use freelist_idx_t type for free object management whose size would be
smaller than size of unsigned int.  Fix it.
