mm: emit the "free" trace report before freeing memory in kmem_cache_free()

Browse Source 
After the memory is freed, it can be immediately allocated by other
CPUs, before the "free" trace report has been emitted.  This causes
inaccurate traces.

For example, if the following sequence of events occurs:

    CPU 0                 CPU 1

  (1) alloc xxxxxx
  (2) free  xxxxxx
                         (3) alloc xxxxxx
                         (4) free  xxxxxx

Then they will be inaccurately reported via tracing, so that they appear
to have happened in this order:

    CPU 0                 CPU 1

  (1) alloc xxxxxx
                         (2) alloc xxxxxx
  (3) free  xxxxxx
                         (4) free  xxxxxx

This makes it look like CPU 1 somehow managed to allocate memory that
CPU 0 still had allocated for itself.

In order to avoid this, emit the "free xxxxxx" tracing report just
before the actual call to free the memory, instead of just after it.
