Subject: [PATCH] mm, slub: do not add duplicate sysfs
Mergeable slab can be changed to unmergeable after tuning its sysfs
interface, for example echo 1 > trace. But the sysfs kobject with the unique
name will be still there.
When creating a new mergeable slab, the following warning will happen:
(hello.ko is a trivial module to simply create a mergeable slab)

Now if a unique is taken, we suffix it with an index, for example,
/sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 is already there, but not mergeable. We create
another unique name with index suffix, /sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048-1, if
this one is taken too, we increase the index value each time, :t-0000048-2,
:t-0000048-3 ... until we find one.
