The IPI interrupt may interrupt a processor that is just processing lru requests and cause a race condition. This patch introduces a new function run_on_each_cpu() that uses the keventd() to run the LRU draining on each processor. Processors disable preemption when dealing the LRU caches (these are per processor) and thus executing LRU draining from another process is safe. Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn for finding this race condition.
