Subject: [PATCH] mm/slab_common: fix possiable double free of kmem_cache

When doing slub_debug test, kfence's 'test_memcache_typesafe_by_rcu'
kunit test case cause a use-after-free error:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in kobject_del+0x14/0x30
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888007679090 by task kunit_try_catch/261

   </TASK>

The cause is inside kmem_cache_destroy():

kmem_cache_destroy
    acquire lock/mutex
    shutdown_cache
        schedule_work(kmem_cache_release) (if RCU flag set)
    release lock/mutex
    kmem_cache_release (if RCU flag set)

in some certain timing, the scheduled work could be run before
the next RCU flag checking which will get a wrong state.

Fix it by caching the RCU flag inside protected area, just like 'refcnt'

The error only happens on linux-next tree, and not in Linus' tree,
which already has Waiman's commit:
