[ 2245.651395] kmem_cache_destroy bt_work: Slab cache still has objects when called from btracker_destroy+0x12/0x20 [dm_cache]
[ 2245.651408] WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 10805 at mm/slab_common.c:478 kmem_cache_destroy+0x128/0x130

Found using: lvm2-testsuite --only "cache-single-split.sh"

Ben bisected and found that commit 0495e33 ("mm/slab_common:
Deleting kobject in kmem_cache_destroy() without holding
slab_mutex/cpu_hotplug_lock") first exposed dm-cache's incomplete
cleanup of its background tracker work objects.
