Vlastimil, taking the lock here could trigger a warning during memory offline/online due to the locking order:

slab_mutex -> flush_lock

[   91.374541] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

               but task is already holding lock:

               which lock already depends on the new lock.
OK, managed to reproduce in qemu and this fixes it for me on top of
next-20210809. Could you test as well, as your testing might be more
comprehensive? I will format is as a fixup for the proper patch in the series then.
As it appeared it should, moving cpu_hotplug_lock outside slab_mutex in
kmem_cache_destroy() on top of that silenced the cpu offline gripe.
