[RFC v2 25/34] mm, slub: detach percpu partial list in unfreeze_partials() using this_cpu_cmpxchg()

[Vlastimil Babka]

Instead of relying on disabled irqs for atomicity when detaching the percpu
partial list, we can use this_cpu_cmpxchg() and detach without irqs disabled.
However, unfreeze_partials() can be also called from another cpu on behalf of
a cpu that is being offlined, so we need to restructure the code accordingly:

- __unfreeze_partials() is the bulk of unfreeze_partials() that processes the
  detached percpu partial list
- unfreeze_partials() uses this_cpu_cmpxchg() to detach list from current cpu
- unfreeze_partials_cpu() is to be called for the offlined cpu so it needs no
  protection, and is called from __flush_cpu_slab()
- flush_cpu_slab() is for the local cpu thus it needs to call
  unfreeze_partials(). So it can't simply call
  __flush_cpu_slab(smp_processor_id()) anymore and we have to open-code it
