Andrew Morton 4f12bb4f77 [PATCH] slab: don't BUG on duplicated cache
slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered
cache.

But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already
statically linked into the kernel.  Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh
reaction.

Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt.  If
the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well.

Notes:

- Swaps the ranking of cache_chain_sem and lock_cpu_hotplug().  Doesn't seem
  important.
