This patch fixes panic due to access NULL pointer
of kmem_cache_node at discard_slab() after memory online.
When memory online is called, kmem_cache_nodes are created for
all SLUBs for new node whose memory are available.
slab_mem_going_online_callback() is called to make kmem_cache_node()
in callback of memory online event. If it (or other callbacks) fails,
then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called for rollback.
In memory offline, slab_mem_going_offline_callback() is called to
shrink all slub cache, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called later.
This patch is tested on my ia64 box.
Please apply.
