Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the page allocator is just too
dangerous.  Let's remove the dependency by dropping get_online_cpus()
from drain_all_pages.  This is not so simple though because now we do
not have a protection against cpu hotplug which means 2 things:

  - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
    unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu

  - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
    calling drain_pages_zone

Disabling preemption in drain_local_pages_wq will solve the first
problem drain_local_pages will determine its local CPU from the WQ
context which will be stable after that point, page_alloc_cpu_dead is
pinned to the CPU already.  The later condition is achieved by disabling
IRQs in drain_pages_zone.

Fixes: mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context
