Johannes Weiner 0b8f73e104 mm: memcontrol: clean up alloc, online, offline, free functions
The creation and teardown of struct mem_cgroup is fairly messy and
that has attracted mistakes and subtle bugs before.

The main cause for this is that there is no clear model about what
needs to happen when, and that attracts more chaos. So create one:

1. mem_cgroup_alloc() should allocate struct mem_cgroup and its
   auxiliary members and initialize work items, locks etc. so that the
   object it returns is fully initialized and in a neutral state.

2. mem_cgroup_css_alloc() will use mem_cgroup_alloc() to obtain a new
   memcg object and configure it and the system according to the role
   of the new memory-controlled cgroup in the hierarchy.

3. mem_cgroup_css_online() is no longer needed to synchronize with
   iterators, but it verifies css->id which isn't available earlier.

4. mem_cgroup_css_offline() implements stuff that needs to happen upon
   the user-visible destruction of a cgroup, which includes stopping
   all user interfacing as well as releasing certain structures when
   continued memory consumption would be unexpected at that point.

5. mem_cgroup_css_free() prepares the system and the memcg object for
   the object's disappearance, neutralizes its state, and then gives
   it back to mem_cgroup_free().

6. mem_cgroup_free() releases struct mem_cgroup and auxiliary memory.
