[ Upstream commit d71608a877362becdc94191f190902fac1e64d35 ]

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

</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 not set)

In some certain timing, the scheduled work could be run before
the next RCU flag checking, which can then get a wrong value
and lead to double kmem_cache_release().

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