[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] small: unite the oscillation cache of all mempools

[Maksim Kulis]

The task is to unite the oscillation cache of all mempools.
In the function slab_put_with_order() we check if there is any 
slab of the largest size except the current one, in order to 
avoid oscillation.
