slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry

slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry

Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new
attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series.  In short, slab_mutex
will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function.  This will
create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is
destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then
calls in to the sysfs directory removal function.

In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what
__kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the
lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove.  This is pretty much the last
operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by
splitting this and moving this call alone to later on.  This will fit
nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look
weird now.
