Subject: [PATCH] mm: slab: fix potential double free in ___cache_free

With the commit 10befea91b61 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of
kmem_caches for all allocations"), it becomes possible to call kfree()
from the slabs_destroy(). The functions cache_flusharray() and
do_drain() calls slabs_destroy() on array_cache of the local CPU without
updating the size of the array_cache. This enables the kfree() call from
the slabs_destroy() to recursively call cache_flusharray() which can
potentially call free_block() on the same elements of the array_cache of
the local CPU and causing double free and memory corruption.

To fix the issue, simply update the local CPU array_cache cache before
calling slabs_destroy().
