    SLAB: Fix lockdep annotations for CPU hotplug · ce79ddc8

    As reported by Paul McKenney:
    
      I am seeing some lockdep complaints in rcutorture runs that include
      frequent CPU-hotplug operations.  The tests are otherwise successful.
      My first thought was to send a patch that gave each array_cache
      structure's ->lock field its own struct lock_class_key, but you already
      have a init_lock_keys() that seems to be intended to deal with this.
    
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
      =============================================
      [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
      2.6.32-rc4-autokern1 #1
      ---------------------------------------------
      syslogd/2908 is trying to acquire lock:
       (&nc->lock){..-...}, at: [<c0000000001407f4>] .kmem_cache_free+0x118/0x2d4
    
      but task is already holding lock:
       (&nc->lock){..-...}, at: [<c0000000001411bc>] .kfree+0x1f0/0x324
    
      other info that might help us debug this:
      3 locks held by syslogd/2908:

    This patch fixes the issue by setting up lockdep annotations during CPU
    hotplug.
