mm: slab: Fix potential deadlock
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.6.0-rt1+ #49 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:
lock_slab_on+0x72/0x77
but task is already holding lock:
__local_lock_irq+0x24/0x77
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&per_cpu(slab_lock, __cpu).lock);
lock(&per_cpu(slab_lock, __cpu).lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
2 locks held by swapper/0/1:
kmem_cache_create+0x33/0x89
__local_lock_irq+0x24/0x77
stack backtrace:

It's not a missing annotation. It's simply wrong code and needs to be
fixed. Instead of nesting the local and the remote cpu lock simply
acquire only the remote cpu lock, which is sufficient protection for
this procedure.
