4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Vladimir Davydov <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 89e364db71fb5e7fc8d93228152abfa67daf35fa ] synchronize_sched() is a heavy operation and calling it per each cache owned by a memory cgroup being destroyed may take quite some time. What is worse, it's currently called under the slab_mutex, stalling all works doing cache creation/destruction. Actually, there isn't much point in calling synchronize_sched() for each cache - it's enough to call it just once - after setting cpu_partial for all caches and before shrinking them. This way, we can also move it out of the slab_mutex, which we have to hold for iterating over the slab cache list.
