[PATCH 0/1] Partial fix for mm/slub regression (LP #1895109)

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza]

[ Impact ]
As reported on bug 1894780 (Oops and hang when starting LVM snapshots
on 5.4.0-47), some changes applied to focal/linux 5.4.0-45 introduced a
regression likely on the mm/slub code. A fix hasn't been identified yet,
however, reverting commit "mm/slub: fix a memory leak in
sysfs_slab_add()", upstream dde3c6b72a16c2db826f54b2d49bdea26c3534a2,
applied to focal/linux as part of v5.4.47 upstream stable release
(bug 1884089), seems to improve the situation.

[ Fix ]
I propose to revert commit "mm/slub: fix a memory leak in
sysfs_slab_add()" while we don't find a better fix for it.

[ Test Case ]
Please see bug 1894780.

[ Regression potential ]
The commit being reverted fixes a memory leak from a 2015 commit, so
the chances of reverting it introducing more regressions is low.
However, if it does we can expect issues on the sysfs slab code
during memory allocations.
