Kuniyuki Iwashima f7dfa0f31b slub: Don't call lockdep_unregister_key() for immature kmem_cache.
syzbot reported the lockdep splat below in __kmem_cache_release(). [0]

The problem is that __kmem_cache_release() could be called from
do_kmem_cache_create() before init_kmem_cache_cpus() registers
the lockdep key.

Let's perform lockdep_unregister_key() only when init_kmem_cache_cpus()
has been done, which we can determine by checking s->cpu_slab

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
