[PATCH] slab: fix crash on __drain_alien_cahce() during CPU Hotplug
transfer_objects should only be called when all of the cpus in the node are online. CPU_DEAD notifier callback marks l3->shared to NULL. Signed-off-by: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
