slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slab

Currently, the freelist of a slab consist of unsigned int sized indexes.
Since most of slabs have less number of objects than 256, large sized
indexes is needless. For example, consider the minimum kmalloc slab. It's
object size is 32 byte and it would consist of one page, so 256 indexes
through byte sized index are enough to contain all possible indexes.

There can be some slabs whose object size is 8 byte. We cannot handle
this case with byte sized index, so we need to restrict minimum
object size. Since these slabs are not major, wasted memory from these
slabs would be negligible.

Some architectures' page size isn't 4096 bytes and rather larger than
4096 bytes (One example is 64KB page size on PPC or IA64) so that
byte sized index doesn't fit to them. In this case, we will use
two bytes sized index.

Below is some number for this patch.

kmem_caches consisting of objects less than or equal to 256 byte have
one or more objects than before. In the case of kmalloc-32, we have 11 more
objects, so 352 bytes (11 * 32) are saved and this is roughly 9% saving of
memory. Of couse, this percentage decreases as the number of objects
in a slab decreases.

Here are the performance results on my 4 cpus machine.

cache-misses are reduced by this patchset, roughly 5%.
And elapsed times are improved by 1%.
