SLUB: Write to per cpu data when allocating it
It turns out that the cmpxchg16b emulation has to access vmalloced percpu memory with interrupts disabled. If the memory has never been touched before then the fault necessary to establish the mapping will not to occur and the kernel will fail on boot. Fix that by reusing the CONFIG_PREEMPT code that writes the cpu number into a field on every cpu. Writing to the per cpu area before causes the mapping to be established before we get to a cmpxchg16b emulation.
