This patch tries to kfree the cache name of pgtables cache if SLUB is
used, as SLUB duplicates the cache name, and the original one is leaked.
This patch depends on patch 1 -- (duplicate the cache name in
saved_alias list) in this mail thread. As the pgtables cache might be
merged to other caches. In this case, the name could be safely kfreed
after calling kmem_cache_create() with patch 1.
