Feng Tang b731e3575f mm/slub: fix a slab missed to be freed problem
When enable kasan and kfence's in-kernel kunit test with slub_debug on,
it caught a problem (in linux-next tree):

It was biscted to commit c7323a5ad0 ("mm/slub: restrict sysfs
validation to debug caches and make it safe")

The problem is inside free_debug_processing(), under certain
circumstances the slab can be removed from the partial list but not
freed by discard_slab() and thus n->nr_slabs is not decreased
accordingly. During shutdown, this non-zero n->nr_slabs is detected and
reported.

Specifically, the problem is that there are two checks for detecting a
full partial list by comparing n->nr_partial >= s->min_partial where the
latter check is affected by remove_partial() decreasing n->nr_partial
between the checks. Reoganize the code so there is a single check
upfront.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
