[PATCH 1/1] UBUNTU: SAUCE: Revert "mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()"

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895109

This reverts commit 8d392dd31bd9205986b442528014c6eec3851491 (commit
dde3c6b72a16c2db826f54b2d49bdea26c3534a2 upstream).

It has been found that linux 5.4.0-45 introduced a regression that is
causing oops when starting LVM snapshots (LP #1894780). A fix for this
issue hasn't been found yet, but reverting dde3c6b72a16 "mm/slub: fix a
memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()" at least doesn't crash one of the
affected systems anymore.
