tracing/mm: don't trace kmem_cache_free on offline cpus
Since tracepoints use RCU for protection, they must not be called on
offline cpus. trace_kmem_cache_free can be called on an offline cpu in
this scenario caught by LOCKDEP:
===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.1.0-rc1+ #9 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/trace/events/kmem.h:148 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by swapper/1/0.
stack backtrace:
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.1.0-rc1+ #9
Call Trace:
.dump_stack+0x98/0xd4 (unreliable)
.lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x108/0x170

Fix this by converting kmem_cache_free trace point into
TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where condition is cpu_online(smp_processor_id())
