slub: tid must be retrieved from the percpu area of the current processor
As Steven Rostedt has pointer out: rescheduling could occur on a
different processor after the determination of the per cpu pointer and
before the tid is retrieved. This could result in allocation from the
wrong node in slab_alloc().
The effect is much more severe in slab_free() where we could free to the
freelist of the wrong page.
The window for something like that occurring is pretty small but it is
possible.
