The commit by Georgy was doing the right thing, it just had a bug
in it. I saw Georgy posted a fix for his commit - but I haven't
seen it on the list.

Why revert this commit rather than fix it? It should be pretty
strightforward to fix, no?

The fix is to avoid iterating over all the free slabs when we
failed to find the right slab size several times, and just get a
new slab at once. I'd even say that Georgy's commit was entirely
correct, it just didn't account for the "land mine" it is setting
for alloc case.

Thoughts?
