slab: remove frozen slab checks from __slab_free()
Currently slabs are only frozen after consistency checks failed. This can happen only in caches with debugging enabled, and those use free_to_partial_list() for freeing. The non-debug operation of __slab_free() can thus stop considering the frozen field, and we can remove the FREE_FROZEN stat.
