mm: slab: fix potential double free in ___cache_free
With the commit 10befea91b61 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all allocations"), it becomes possible to call kfree() from the slabs_destroy(). The functions cache_flusharray() and do_drain() calls slabs_destroy() on array_cache of the local CPU without updating the size of the array_cache. This enables the kfree() call from the slabs_destroy() to recursively call cache_flusharray() which can potentially call free_block() on the same elements of the array_cache of the local CPU and causing double free and memory corruption. To fix the issue, simply update the local CPU array_cache cache before calling slabs_destroy().
