Ok then the following should fix it:



Subject: vmstat: Queue work before clearing cpu_stat_off

There is a race between vmstat_shepherd and quiet_vmstat() because
the responsibility for checking for counter updates changes depending
on the state of teh bit in cpu_stat_off. So queue the work before
changing state of the bit in vmstat_shepherd. That way quiet_vmstat
is guaranteed to remove the work request when clearing the bit and the
bug in vmstat_update wont trigger anymore.
