mm/slub: fix a deadlock in show_slab_objects()

A long time ago we fixed a similar deadlock in show_slab_objects() [1].
However, it is apparently due to the commits like 01fb58bc ("slab:
remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation
path") and 03afc0e2 ("slab: get_online_mems for
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}"), this kind of deadlock is back by
just reading files in /sys/kernel/slab which will generate a lockdep
splat below.

Since the "mem_hotplug_lock" here is only to obtain a stable online node
mask while racing with NUMA node hotplug, in the worst case, the results
may me miscalculated while doing NUMA node hotplug, but they shall be
corrected by later reads of the same files.

  other info that might help us debug this:

  Chain exists of:
    mem_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> slab_mutex --> kn->count#45

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(kn->count#45);
                                 lock(slab_mutex);
                                 lock(kn->count#45);
    lock(mem_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

I think it is important to mention that this doesn't expose the
show_slab_objects to use-after-free.  There is only a single path that
might really race here and that is the slab hotplug notifier callback
__kmem_cache_shrink (via slab_mem_going_offline_callback) but that path
doesn't really destroy kmem_cache_node data structures.
