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.Reviewed-by: Glauber Costa
