Subject: mm, slab: make flush_slab() possible to call with irqs enabled
Currently flush_slab() is always called with disabled IRQs if it's needed,
but the following patches will change that, so add a parameter to control
IRQ disabling within the function, which only protects the kmem_cache_cpu
manipulation and not the call to deactivate_slab() which doesn't need it.
