[Devel] [PATCH RESEND 03/11] memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache initialization/destruction

[Vladimir Davydov]

Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg
kmem cache initialization/destruction.

Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function
calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a kmem cache
and then "registers" the new cache in the memcg_params::memcg_caches
array of the parent cache.

During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following
memcg-related functions:

 - memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly
   created cache;
 - memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches
   list.

On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction
only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the
reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches,
removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees
memcg_params.

Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make
the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit.

This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg
caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its
parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and
memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and
destruction paths look symmetrical.
