Yeah, names are inconsistent in kmemcg and desperately want improvement:

mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
kmem_cgroup_css_offline
memcg_kmem_get_cache
memcg_charge_kmem
memcg_create_cache_name

I've been thinking on cleaning this up for some time, but couldn't make
up my mind to do this. I think it cannot wait any more now, so my next
patch set will rework kmemcg naming.

Can we apply this patch as is for now? It'd be more convenient for me to
rework naming on top of the end picture.

Thanks.
