[PATCH 4.7 014/143] mm/slub.c: run free_partial() outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock

4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6039892396d845b18228935561960441900cffca upstream.

With debugobjects enabled and using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, when a
kmem_cache_node is destroyed the call_rcu() may trigger a slab
allocation to fill the debug object pool (__debug_object_init:fill_pool).

Everywhere but during kmem_cache_destroy(), discard_slab() is performed
outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock and avoids a lockdep warning
about potential recursion:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]

---------------------------------------------
rmmod/8895 is trying to acquire lock:
(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811c80d7>] get_partial_node.isra.63+0x47/0x430

but task is already holding lock:
(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811cbda4>] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x54/0x320

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock);

*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
