Passing the kmem_cache_cpu pointer instead simplifies this a bit and avoid
a per_cpu_ptr operations. That reduces code somewhat and results in no
additional operations for the fast path.


Subject: Use correct cpu_slab on dead cpu

Pass a kmem_cache_cpu pointer into unfreeze partials so that a different
kmem_cache_cpu structure than the local one can be specified.
