mm/slub.c: fix random_seq offset destruction
Commit 210e7a43fa90 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization") broke USB hub
initialisation as described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177551.
Bail out early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already
initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed
random_seq offsets later in the function.
If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate
page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest).
Fixes: 210e7a43fa90 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization")
