mm/slub: fix slab double-free in case of duplicate sysfs filename 

sysfs_slab_add() shouldn't call kobject_put at error path: this puts last
reference of kmem-cache kobject and frees it.  Kmem cache will be freed
second time at error path in kmem_cache_create().

For example this happens when slub debug was enabled in runtime and
somebody creates new kmem cache:

# echo 1 | tee /sys/kernel/slab/*/sanity_checks
# modprobe configfs

"configfs_dir_cache" cannot be merged because existing slab have debug and
cannot create new slab because unique name ":t-0000096" already taken.
