When defragmenting slabs then it is advantageous to have all
defragmentable slabs together at the beginning of the list so that we do not
have to scan the complete list. When adding a slab cache put defragmentable
caches first and others last.
Determine the maximum number of objects in defragmentable slabs. This allows
to size the allocation of arrays holding refs to these objects later.
