mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with synchronize_sched() in kmem_cache_shrink()

When we call __kmem_cache_shrink on memory cgroup removal, we need to
synchronize kmem_cache->cpu_partial update with put_cpu_partial that
might be running on other cpus.  Currently, we achieve that by using
kick_all_cpus_sync, which works as a system wide memory barrier.  Though
fast it is, this method has a flaw - it issues a lot of IPIs, which
might hurt high performance or real-time workloads.

To fix this, let's replace kick_all_cpus_sync with synchronize_sched.
Although the latter one may take much longer to finish, it shouldn't be
a problem in this particular case, because memory cgroups are destroyed
asynchronously from a workqueue so that no user visible effects should
be introduced.  OTOH, it will save us from excessive IPIs when someone
removes a cgroup.

Anyway, even if using synchronize_sched turns out to take too long, we
can always introduce a kind of __kmem_cache_shrink batching so that this
method would only be called once per one cgroup destruction (not per
each per memcg kmem cache as it is now).
