We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in
order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same
cpu.  It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can
move the process to other cpu during retrieving data.

Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the
fastpath.  If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and
kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means
that they are retrieved on the same cpu.  If not matched, we just have
to retry it.

With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it.

I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in
CONFIG_PREEMPT.  (14.821 ns -> 14.049 ns)

Below is the result of Christoph's slab_test reported by Jesper Dangaard
Brouer.

Most of the results are better than before.

Note that this change slightly worses performance in !CONFIG_PREEMPT,
roughly 0.3%.  Implementing each case separately would help performance,
but, since it's so marginal, I didn't do that.  This would help
maintanance since we have same code for all cases.
