The calls to slab_lock() are nested under spin_lock_irqsave() which doesn't disable irqs on PREEMPT_RT, so add explicit disabling with PREEMPT_RT. We also distinguish cmpxchg_double_slab() where we do the disabling explicitly and __cmpxchg_double_slab() for contexts with already disabled irqs. However these context are also typically spin_lock_irqsave() thus insufficient on PREEMPT_RT. Thus, change __cmpxchg_double_slab() to be same as cmpxchg_double_slab() on PREEMPT_RT.
