ms/mm: memcontrol: avoid unused function warning
A bugfix in v4.8-rc2 introduced a harmless warning when
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP is disabled but CONFIG_MEMCG is enabled:
mm/memcontrol.c:4085:27: error: 'mem_cgroup_id_get_online' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
static struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_id_get_online(struct mem_cgroup *memcg)
This moves the function inside of the #ifdef block that hides the
calling function, to avoid the warning.

=================
Patchset description:
memcg: release id when offlinging cgroup
We see that container user can deplete memory cgroup ids on the system
(64k) and prevent further memory cgroup creation. In crash collected by
our customer in such a situation we see that mem_cgroup_idr is full of
cgroups from one container with same exact path (cgroup of docker
service), cgroups are not released because they have kmem charges, this
kmem charge is for a tmpfs dentry allocated from this cgroup. (And on
vz7 kernel it seems that such a dentry is only released after umounting
tmpfs or removing the corresponding file from tmpfs.)
So there is a valid way to hold kmem cgroup for a long time. Similar
thing was mentioned in mainstream with page cache holding kmem cgroup
for a long time. And they proposed a way to deal with it - just release
cgroup id early so that one can allocate new cgroups immediately.
Reproduce:
https://git.vzint.dev/users/ptikhomirov/repos/helpers/browse/memcg-related/test-mycg-tmpfs.sh
After this fix the number of memory cgroups in /proc/cgroups can now
show > 64k as we allow to leave memory cgroups hanging while releasing
their ids.
Note: Maybe it's a bad idea to allow container to eat kernel
memory with such a hanging cgroups, but yet I don't have better ideas.
