[PATCH] slab_common: remove test if cache name is accessible

[Mikulas Patocka]

Since the commit db265eca7700 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to
slab_common.c"), the kernel always duplicates the slab cache name when
creating a slab cache, so the test if the slab name is accessible is
useless.
