slub: Disable NUMA remote node defragmentation by default



Switch remote node defragmentation off by default. The current settings can
cause excessive node local allocations with hackbench:

  SLAB:

    % cat /proc/meminfo
    MemTotal:        7701760 kB
    MemFree:         5940096 kB
    Slab:             123840 kB

  SLUB:

    % cat /proc/meminfo
    MemTotal:        7701376 kB
    MemFree:         4740928 kB
    Slab:            1591680 kB

[Note: this feature is not related to slab defragmentation.]
