slab: fix the DEADLOCK issue on l3 alien lock

DEADLOCK will be report while running a kernel with NUMA and LOCKDEP enabled,
the process of this fake report is:

	   kmem_cache_free()	//free obj in cachep
	-> cache_free_alien()	//acquire cachep's l3 alien lock
	-> __drain_alien_cache()
	-> free_block()
	-> slab_destroy()
	-> kmem_cache_free()	//free slab in cachep->slabp_cache
	-> cache_free_alien()	//acquire cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien lock

Since the cachep and cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien are in the same lock class,
fake report generated.

This should not happen since we already have init_lock_keys() which will
reassign the lock class for both l3 list and l3 alien.

However, init_lock_keys() was invoked at a wrong position which is before we
invoke enable_cpucache() on each cache.

Since until set slab_state to be FULL, we won't invoke enable_cpucache()
on caches to build their l3 alien while creating them, so although we invoked
init_lock_keys(), the l3 alien lock class won't change since we don't have
them until invoked enable_cpucache() later.

This patch will invoke init_lock_keys() after we done enable_cpucache()
instead of before to avoid the fake DEADLOCK report.

Michael traced the problem back to a commit in release 3.0.0:

    slab, lockdep: Annotate the locks before using them

    Fernando found we hit the regular OFF_SLAB 'recursion' before we
    annotate the locks, cure this.

    The relevant portion of the stack-trace:

The commit moved init_lock_keys() before we build up the alien, so we
failed to reclass it.
