Subject: [PATCH] core: fix the use of this_cpu_ptr

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@...il.com>

flush_tasklet is not percpu var, and percpu is percpu var, and
	this_cpu_ptr(&info->cache->percpu->flush_tasklet)
is not equal to
	&this_cpu_ptr(info->cache->percpu)->flush_tasklet

1f743b076(use this_cpu_ptr per-cpu helper) introduced this bug.
