mm: slub: fix flush_cpu_slab()/__free_slab() invocations in task context.

Commit 5a836bf6 ("mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations
__free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context") moved all flush_cpu_slab()
invocations to the global workqueue to avoid a problem related
with deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() being called from an IRQ context
on PREEMPT_RT kernels.

When the flush_all_cpu_locked() function is called from a task context
it may happen that a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set ends up
flushing the global workqueue, this will cause a dependency issue.

   is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events:flush_cpu_slab

Fix this bug by creating a workqueue for the flush operation with
the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set.
