[Devel] [PATCH -mm v2 3/6] memcg: cleanup memcg_caches arrays relocation path

Current memcg_caches arrays relocation path looks rather awkward: on
setting kmem limit we call memcg_update_all_caches located on slab's
side, which walks over all root caches and calls back to memcontrol.c
through memcg_update_cache_size and memcg_update_array_size, which in
turn reallocate the memcg_caches array for a particular cache and update
the arrays' size respectively.

The first call from memcontrol.c to slab_common.c, which is
memcg_update_all_caches, is justified, because to iterate over root
caches we have to take the slab_mutex. However, I don't see any reason
why we can't reallocate a memcg_caches array on the slab's size or why
we should call memcg_update_cache_size under the slab_mutex. So let's
clean up this mess.
