[PATCH] vmstat: disable vmstat_work on vmstat_cpu_down_prep()

[Koichiro Den <koichiro.den@canonical.com>]

Even after mm/vmstat:online teardown, shepherd may still queue work for
the dying cpu until the cpu is removed from online mask. While it's
quite rare, this means that after unbind_workers() unbinds a per-cpu
kworker, it potentially runs vmstat_update for the dying CPU on an
irrelevant cpu before entering STARTING section.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, it results in the following error with the
backtrace.

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: \
                                               kworker/7:3/1702
  caller is refresh_cpu_vm_stats+0x235/0x5f0
  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1702 Comm: kworker/7:3 Tainted: G
  Tainted: [N]=TEST
  Workqueue: mm_percpu_wq vmstat_update
  Call Trace:

   </TASK>

So, disable vmstat_work reliably on vmstat_cpu_down_prep().
