Hello,

I made a mistake on that patch. Could you try to test below one on
top of it.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/slab: clean-up kmem_cache_node setup-fix

After calling free_block(), we need to re-calculate array_cache's
avail counter. Fix it.

And, it's better to free objects in shared array when it is
really necessary. Check it before calling free_block().
