Subject: slub: missing test for partial pages flush work in flush_all()
I found some kernel messages such as:
SLUB raid5-md127: kmem_cache_destroy called for cache that still has objects.
Pid: 6143, comm: mdadm Tainted: G O 3.4.0-rc6+ #75

Then using kmemleak I found these messages:

This bug was introduced by a8364d5555b ("slub: only IPI CPUs that have per
cpu obj to flush"), which did not include checks for per cpu partial pages
being present on a cpu.
