slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg caches

Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches.  Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache.  For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:

  X
  A -> X
  B -> X

where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()).  Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:

  X
  X:M
  X:N
  A -> X
  B -> X
  A:M -> X:M
  A:N -> X:N

Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.

It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory.  This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.

This patch does the trick.  It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.
