mm: slub: remove dead and buggy code from sysfs_slab_add()
The function sysfs_slab_add() has two callers: One is slab_sysfs_init(), which first initializes slab_kset, and only when that succeeds sets slab_state to FULL, and then proceeds to call sysfs_slab_add() for all previously created slabs. The other is __kmem_cache_create(), but only after a if (slab_state <= UP) return 0; check. So in other words, sysfs_slab_add() is never called without slab_kset (aka the return value of cache_kset()) being non-NULL. And this is just as well, because if we ever did take this path and called kobject_init(&s->kobj), and then later when called again from slab_sysfs_init() would end up calling kobject_init_and_add(), we would hit if (kobj->state_initialized) { /* do not error out as sometimes we can recover */ pr_err("kobject (%p): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.\n", dump_stack(); } in kobject.c.
