The percpu free object pool is supposed to be accessed only by that 
particular cpu without any lock. Trying to access it from another cpu 
can cause a race condition unless one can make sure that the offline cpu 
won't become online in the mean time. There shouldn't be too many free 
objects in the percpu pool. Is it worth the effort to free them?

Cheers,
