mm/slab: fix a memory leak due to bootstrapping sheaves twice
When kmalloc caches are aliased, multiple cache pointers reference
the same kmem_cache. As a result, iterating over kmalloc indices and
bootstrapping sheaves can bootstrap the same cache more than once and
leak memory.
Currently, this could happen when the architecture specifies
minimum alignment for slab caches that is larger than
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN.
Bootstrap sheaves only when the cache does not have them already.
Add a warning when bootstrap_cache_sheaves() is called for a cache
that already has sheaves enabled.
