commit 66c4c35c6b upstream.
sysfs_slab_add() calls various sysfs functions that actually may
end up in userspace doing all sorts of things.
Release the slub_lock after adding the kmem_cache structure to the list.
At that point the address of the kmem_cache is not known so we are
guaranteed exlusive access to the following modifications to the
kmem_cache structure.
If the sysfs_slab_add fails then reacquire the slub_lock to
remove the kmem_cache structure from the list.
