In the case that a cpu is taken offline before zcache_do_preload() is ever called on the cpu, the per-cpu zcache_preloads structure will be uninitialized. In the CPU_DEAD case for zcache_cpu_notifier(), kp->obj is not checked before calling kmem_cache_free() on it. If it is NULL, a crash results.
This patch ensures that both kp->obj and kp->page are not NULL before calling the respective free functions. In practice, just checking one or the other should be sufficient since they are assigned together in zcache_do_preload(), but I check both for safety.
