Indeed, and that's because when I poked that slub_get_cpu_ptr(), it
poked me back by real deal deadlocking on boot, so I posted the
restoration of previously existing exclusion points with the
unlock/relock to appease lockdep (big hairy wart) bit instead.

Yup, that's what I concluded too, but box disagreed by not booting when
I did that, while seemingly being perfectly fine with the one in
put_cpu_partial() itself. I figured my slub_get_cpu_ptr() replacement
had failed due to list_lock/local_lock order woes that I didn't notice
until after box bricked on me, but despite the unlock/relock in this
patch, it still manages to be a -ENOBOOT.
