slab: make percpu sheaves compatible with kmalloc_nolock()/kfree_nolock()

Before we enable percpu sheaves for kmalloc caches, we need to make sure
kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock() will continue working properly and
not spin when not allowed to.

Percpu sheaves themselves use local_trylock() so they are already
compatible. We just need to be careful with the barn->lock spin_lock.
Pass a new allow_spin parameter where necessary to use
spin_trylock_irqsave().

In kmalloc_nolock_noprof() we can now attempt alloc_from_pcs() safely,
for now it will always fail until we enable sheaves for kmalloc caches
next. Similarly in kfree_nolock() we can attempt free_to_pcs().
