mm/slub.c: fix random_seq offset destruction

Commit 210e7a43 ("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: 210e7a43 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization")
