The slab functionality is designed to work on the processor with the
queue. These tricks will only cause more trouble in the future. The
cache_reaper needs to be either disabled or run on the right processor. It
should never run on the wrong processor.
The cache_reaper() is of no importance to hotplug. You just need to make
sure that it is not in the way (disable it and if its running wait
until the cache_reaper has finished).
