Subject: [PATCH] mm/slub: Fix random_seq offset destruction

Bailout early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already
initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed random_seq
offsets later in the function.

If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate
page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest).

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177551.
