[Devel] [PATCH vz7 v2] mm/slab: use monotonic serial number for naming per memcg caches

[Konstantin Khorenko]

Currently, we use mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id to guarantee kmem_cache->name
uniqueness. Unfortunately kmemcg_id release happens on cgroup offline
when kmem caches are  still alive and their sysfs entries are not removed.

Thus it's possible to start/suspend/resume/stop a Container and get into
situation when mem cgroup is offline (thus mem_cgroup::kmemcg_id is
released), but not freed and corresponding slab caches are alive along
with their sysfs entries like:
  /sys/kernel/slab/filp/cgroup/filp($KMEMCG_ID:$MEMCG_NAME)

If we start a Container after that, new memory cgroup is created and
gets same kmemcg_id, new kmem_cache is created and sysfs_slab_add()
fails due to duplicate name provided which triggers a warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 31346 at lib/kobject.c:239
    kobject_add_internal+0x6ef/0x910
  kobject_add_internal failed for kmalloc-512(3:100) with -EEXIST, don't
    try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

In older kernels we use css_id(mem_cgroup_css(memcg)), but now cssid is
dropped.
In mainstream monotonic counter css->serial_nr is used instead,
so let's add monotonic serial_nr to kmem_cache->name as well.
No need to store is anywhere as kmem_cache has a link to memcg.

v2: Holding slab_mutex makes atomic variable redundant.
    No need to store serial number assigned to a kmem_cache,
    because kmem_cache has a link to memcg.
