vmstat: disable vmstat_work on vmstat_cpu_down_prep()

Even after mm/vmstat:online teardown, shepherd may still queue work for
the dying cpu until the cpu is removed from online mask.  While it's quite
rare, this means that after unbind_workers() unbinds a per-cpu kworker, it
potentially runs vmstat_update for the dying CPU on an irrelevant cpu
before entering atomic AP states.  When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, it results
in the following error with the backtrace.

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: \
                                               kworker/7:3/1702

So, for mm/vmstat:online, disable vmstat_work reliably on teardown and
symmetrically enable it on startup.
