mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted allocations

This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab
allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate
set for each memory cgroup.

Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of
root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely.
They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts.
This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root
kmem_caches and delete a ton of code.

This patch performs the following changes:
1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the
   kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations
2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism
   to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt
3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg,
   e.g. dentry-memcg
4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache
   or schedule it's creation and return the root cache
5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code
   (separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc)
6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never
   show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute.

Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.
