Subject[patch 10/30] init_reap_node() initialization fix
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Daniel Yeisley <dan.yeisley@unisys.com>

It looks like there is a bug in init_reap_node() in slab.c that can cause
multiple oops's on certain ES7000 configurations. The variable reap_node
is defined per cpu, but only initialized on a single CPU. This causes an
oops in next_reap_node() when __get_cpu_var(reap_node) returns the wrong
value. Fix is below.
