slub: Allow removal of slab caches during boot
Serialize kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache_destroy using the slub_lock. Only possible after the use of the slub_lock during dynamic dma creation has been removed. Then make sure that the setup of the slab sysfs entries does not race with kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache destroy. If a slab cache is removed before we have setup sysfs then simply skip over the sysfs handling.
