Subject: [PATCH] slab: fix a crash by reading /proc/slab_allocators

The commit 510ded33e075 ("slab: implement slab_root_caches list")
changes the name of the list node within "struct kmem_cache" from
"list" to "root_caches_node", but leaks_show() still use the "list"
which causes a crash when reading /proc/slab_allocators.
