vmstat: get rid of the ugly cpu_stat_off variable
The cpu_stat_off variable is unecessary since we can check if a workqueue request is pending otherwise. Removal of cpu_stat_off makes it pretty easy for the vmstat shepherd to ensure that the proper things happen. Removing the state also removes all races related to it. Should a workqueue not be scheduled as needed for vmstat_update then the shepherd will notice and schedule it as needed. Should a workqueue be unecessarily scheduled then the vmstat updater will disable it.
