memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it

Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
__kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
destroy the cache.

As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
freed data).

To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.
