[PATCH] slab: fix drain_array() so that it works correctly with the shared_array
The list_lock also protects the shared array and we call drain_array() with
the shared array. Therefore we cannot go as far as I wanted to but have to
take the lock in a way so that it also protects the array_cache in
drain_pages.
(Note: maybe we should make the array_cache locking more consistent? I.e.
always take the array cache lock for shared arrays and disable interrupts
for the per cpu arrays?)
