memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it
Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after __kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to destroy the cache. As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already freed data). To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.
