mm/slab: extend deferred free mechanism to handle rcu sheaves

__kfree_rcu_sheaf() cannot invoke call_rcu() when spinning is not
allowed and IRQs are disabled. To relax the limitation, extend the
deferred free fallback so that a full rcu sheaf can be submitted to
call_rcu() via the existing IRQ work.

Since the deferred mechanism does more than deferred freeing of objects,
rename the struct to deferred_percpu_work and adjust names accordingly.

When a sheaf is queued on an IRQ work, it is detached from
pcs->rcu_free but call_rcu() is not invoked until the irq_work runs.
To keep the kvfree_rcu barrier's promise, call irq_work_sync() on each
CPU before calling rcu_barrier().

In the meantime, remove the TODO item as apparently there is no simple
and effective way to achieve that. This is because, unlike sheaves,
kfree_rcu() batches objects from different caches together.
