mm: memcg/slab: synchronize access to kmem_cache dying flag using a spinlock

Currently the memcg_params.dying flag and the corresponding workqueue used
for the asynchronous deactivation of kmem_caches is synchronized using the
slab_mutex.

It makes impossible to check this flag from the irq context, which will be
required in order to implement asynchronous release of kmem_caches.

So let's switch over to the irq-save flavor of the spinlock-based
synchronization.
