[Devel] [PATCH v2 2/7] memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache name creation

The way memcg_create_kmem_cache() creates the name for a memcg cache
looks rather strange: it first formats the name in the static buffer
tmp_name protected by a mutex, then passes the pointer to the buffer to
kmem_cache_create_memcg(), which finally duplicates it to the cache
name.

Let's clean this up by moving memcg cache name creation to a separate
function to be called by kmem_cache_create_memcg(), and estimating the
length of the name string before copying anything to it so that we won't
need a temporary buffer.
