mm/slab: break up RCU readers on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code
The SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code snippet uses a single RCU read-side critical section for retries. 'Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.rst' has similar example code snippet, and commit da82af04352b ("doc: Update and wordsmith rculist_nulls.rst") broke it up. Apply the change to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code snippet, too. Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>

* stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent

*
+ * begin:
* rcu_read_lock();
- * again:
* obj = lockless_lookup(key);
* if (obj) {
* if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
- * goto again;
+ * rcu_read_unlock();
+ * goto begin;
*
* if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
* put_ref(obj);
- * goto again;
