mm, slab: split out the cpu offline variant of flush_slab()
flush_slab() is called either as part IPI handler on given live cpu, or as a cleanup on behalf of another cpu that went offline. The first case needs to protect updating the kmem_cache_cpu fields with disabled irqs. Currently the whole call happens with irqs disabled by the IPI handler, but the following patch will change from IPI to workqueue, and flush_slab() will have to disable irqs (to be replaced with a local lock later) in the critical part. To prepare for this change, replace the call to flush_slab() for the dead cpu handling with an opencoded variant that will not disable irqs nor take a local lock.
