mm: drop hotplug lock from lru_add_drain_all()

Browse Source 
Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like
lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat
[1] just proves this.  While the usage in that particular case might be
wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many
places.  It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually.

We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by
commit a459eeb7b8 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks
inside the allocator").  All we have to care about is to handle

      - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
        unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu

      - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
        calling lru_add_drain_cpu

the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain
which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local
cpu it is draining.  The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is
called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished
completely.
