Then we wont need to do the mutex_lock/unlock in CPU_DOWN_XX
anymore, right? Which brings us to this form of the patch:
Shutdown cache_reaper when cpu goes down
Shutdown the cache_reaper in slab.c if the cpu is brought down
and set the cache_reap.func to NULL. Otherwise hotplug shuts
down the reaper for good.
