dm cache: fix device destroy hang due to improper prealloc_used accounting

Commit 665022d72f9 ("dm cache: avoid calls to prealloc_free_structs() if
possible") introduced a regression that caused the removal of a DM cache
device to hang in cache_postsuspend()'s call to wait_for_migrations()
with the following stack trace:

Fix this by accounting for the call to prealloc_data_structs()
immediately _before_ the call as opposed to after.  This is needed
because it is possible to break out of the control loop after the call
to prealloc_data_structs() but before prealloc_used was set to true.
