Subject[PATCH 2/3] slab: Fix imbalanced rcu locking
Not sure why the code tries to unlock the rcu. The
only case where slab grabs the lock is around
mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache() call, which won't result
into calling cache_grow() (that tries to unlock the rcu).

=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
3.4.0-rc4+ #33 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
swapper/0/0 is trying to release lock (rcu_read_lock) at:
[<ffffffff8134f0b4>] cache_grow.constprop.63+0xe8/0x371
but there are no more locks to release!

other info that might help us debug this:
no locks held by swapper/0/0.

stack backtrace:
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.4.0-rc4+ #33
