This patch fixes object remain in the offline per-cpu quarantine as
describe below.

Free objects will get into per-cpu quarantine if enable generic KASAN.
If a cpu is offline and users use kmem_cache_destroy, kernel will detect
objects still remain in the offline per-cpu quarantine and report error.

Register a cpu hotplug function to remove all objects in the offline
per-cpu quarantine when cpu is going offline. Set a per-cpu variable
to indicate this cpu is offline.

Changes since v4:
 - Rebase to linux-next
 - Remove the qlist_free for double free issue
 - Thanks Qiang, Qian

Changes since v3:
 - Add a barrier to ensure the ordering
 - Rename the init function

Changes since v2:
 - Thanks for Dmitry suggestion
 - Remove unnecessary code
 - Put offline variable into cpu_quarantine
 - Use single qlist_free_all call instead of iteration over all slabs
 - Add bug reporter in commit message
