Subject: slub: fix per memcg cache leak on css offline

To avoid a possible deadlock, sysfs_slab_remove() schedules an
asynchronous work to delete sysfs entries corresponding to the kmem cache.
To ensure the cache isn't freed before the work function is called, it
takes a reference to the cache kobject.  The reference is supposed to be
released by the work function.  However, the work function
(sysfs_slab_remove_workfn()) does nothing in case the cache sysfs entry
has already been deleted, leaking the kobject and the corresponding cache.
This may happen on a per memcg cache destruction, because sysfs entries
of a per memcg cache are deleted on memcg offline if the cache is empty
(see __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()).

The kmemleak report looks like this:

Fix the leak by adding the missing call to kobject_put() to
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn().
