SLUB: Fix default slab order for big object sizes

The default order of kmalloc-8192 on 2*4 stoakley is an issue of
calculate_order.

slab_size       order           name
-------------------------------------------------
4096            3               sgpool-128
8192            2               kmalloc-8192
16384           3               kmalloc-16384

kmalloc-8192's default order is smaller than sgpool-128's.

On 4*4 tigerton machine, a similiar issue appears on another kmem_cache.

Function calculate_order uses 'min_objects /= 2;' to shrink. Plus size
calculation/checking in slab_order, sometimes above issue appear.

Below patch against 2.6.29-rc2 fixes it.

I checked the default orders of all kmem_cache and they don't become
smaller than before. So the patch wouldn't hurt performance.
