Fix race in spl_kmem_cache_reap_now()

The current code contains a race condition that triggers when bit 2 in
spl.spl_kmem_cache_expire is set, spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() is invoked
and another thread is concurrently accessing its magazine.

spl_kmem_cache_reap_now() currently invokes spl_cache_flush() on each
magazine in the same thread when bit 2 in spl.spl_kmem_cache_expire is
set. This is unsafe because there is one magazine per CPU and the
magazines are lockless, so it is impossible to guarentee that another
CPU is not using its magazine when this function is called.

The solution is to only touch the local CPU's magazine and leave other
CPU's magazines to other CPUs.
