Commit c65c1877bd68 ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") requires
remove_partial() to be called with n->list_lock held, but free_partial()
called from kmem_cache_close() on cache destruction does not follow this
rule, leading to a warning:

Although this cannot actually result in a race, because on cache
destruction there should not be any concurrent frees or allocations from
the cache, let's add spin_lock/unlock to free_partial() just to keep
lockdep happy.

v3: fix the comment to free_partial()
v2: add a comment explaining why we need to take the lock
