mm, slub: move slub_debug static key enabling outside slab_mutex

Paul E.  McKenney reported [1] that commit 1f0723a4c0df ("mm, slub: enable
slub_debug static key when creating cache with explicit debug flags")
results in the lockdep complaint:

 ======================================================
 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

 ------------------------------------------------------
 rcu_torture_sta/109 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffffffff96063cd0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: static_key_enable+0x9/0x20

 but task is already holding lock:
 ffffffff96173c28 (slab_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kmem_cache_create_usercopy+0x2d/0x250

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

This is because there's one order of locking from the hotplug callbacks:

lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // from hotplug machinery itself
lock(slab_mutex); // in e.g. slab_mem_going_offline_callback()

And commit 1f0723a4c0df made the reverse sequence possible:
lock(slab_mutex); // in kmem_cache_create_usercopy()
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); // kmem_cache_open() -> static_key_enable()

The simplest fix is to move static_key_enable() to a place before slab_mutex is
taken. That means kmem_cache_create_usercopy() in mm/slab_common.c which is not
ideal for SLUB-specific code, but the #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG makes it
at least self-contained and obvious.
