When the slub code wants to know if the sysfs state has already been
initialized, it tests for slab_state == SYSFS. This is quite fragile,
since new state can be added in the future (it is, in fact, for
memcg caches). This patch fixes this behavior so the test matches
>= SYSFS, as all other state does.
