[PATCH] slub: Hold list_lock unconditionally before the call to add_full.

[Gautham R Shenoy <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi,

>From the lockdep annotation and the comment that existed before the
lockdep annotations were introduced, 
mm/slub.c:add_full(s, n, page) expects to be called with n->list_lock
held.

However, there's a call path in deactivate_slab() when

	 (new.inuse || n->nr_partial <= s->min_partial) &&
	 !(new.freelist) &&
         !(kmem_cache_debug(s))

which ends up calling add_full() without holding
n->list_lock.

This was discovered while onlining/offlining cpus in 3.14-rc1 due to
the lockdep annotations added by commit
c65c1877bd6826ce0d9713d76e30a7bed8e49f38.

Fix this by unconditionally taking the lock
irrespective of the state of kmem_cache_debug(s).
