Commit 1331e7a1bb
("rcu: Remove _rcu_barrier() dependency on
__stop_machine()") introduced slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency
through kmem_cache_destroy() -> rcu_barrier() -> _rcu_barrier() ->
get_online_cpus().
Lockdep thinks that this might actually result in ABBA deadlock,
and reports it as below:

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:
rcu_sched_state.barrier_mutex --> cpu_hotplug.lock --> slab_mutex
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(slab_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
lock(slab_mutex);
lock(rcu_sched_state.barrier_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
=== [ cut here ] ===
This is actually a false positive. Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact
that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of
cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual
exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through
cpu_hotplug.refcount.
The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin()
until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()"
semantics is totally invisible to lockdep.
This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier()
is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages:
- it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect
the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free()
call any more
- it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever
learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency
