[Devel] [PATCH v3 08/16] slab: allow enable_cpu_cache to use preset values for its tunables

SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.
When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables
the parent cache already had.

This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.

Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and
then things work as expected.
