Christoph Lameter 18004c5d40 mm, sl[aou]b: Use a common mutex definition ...

Use the mutex definition from SLAB and make it the common way to take a sleeping lock.

This has the effect of using a mutex instead of a rw semaphore for SLUB.

SLOB gains the use of a mutex for kmem_cache_create serialization.
Not needed now but SLOB may acquire some more features later (like slabinfo
/ sysfs support) through the expansion of the common code that will
need this.
