[patch 2/2]slub: explicitly document position of inserting slab to partial list

[Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>]

Adding slab to partial list head/tail is sensitive to performance. Using 0/1
can easily cause typo. So explicitly uses DEACTIVATE_TO_TAIL/DEACTIVATE_TO_HEAD
to document it to avoid we get it wrong.
