Subject: [PATCH RESEND -mm 12/12] slub: make sure all memcg caches have unique names on sysfs

Since memcg caches are now reparented on memcg offline, a memcg cache
can outlive its cgroup. If the memcg id is then reused for a new cgroup
with the same name, we can get cache name collision, which will result
in failures while trying to add a sysfs entry for a new cgroup's cache.
Let's fix this by appending the cache address to sysfs names of all
memcg caches so that they are guaranteed to have unique names.
