[PATCH for 3.9] memcg: initialize kmem-cache destroying work earlier

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Thu Mar 07 2013 - 02:49:05 EST


This patch fixes warning from lockdep caused by calling cancel_work_sync()
for uninitialized struct work. This path has been triggered by destructon
kmem-cache hierarchy via destroying its root kmem-cache.
