[PATCH -mm] slub: kmem_cache_shrink: init discard list after freeing slabs

[Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com>]

Otherwise, if there are > 1 nodes, we can get use-after-free while
processing the second or higher node:

    WARNING: CPU: 60 PID: 1 at lib/list_debug.c:29 __list_add+0x3c/0xa9()
    list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff881ff0a6bb98), but was ffffea007ff57020. (next=ffffea007fbf7320).
