Subject: [PATCH v3 15/16] memcg/sl[au]b: shrink dead caches
In the slub allocator, when the last object of a page goes away, we
don't necessarily free it - there is not necessarily a test for empty
page in any slab_free path.
This means that when we destroy a memcg cache that happened to be empty,
those caches may take a lot of time to go away: removing the memcg
reference won't destroy them - because there are pending references, and
the empty pages will stay there, until a shrinker is called upon for any
reason.
This patch marks all memcg caches as dead. kmem_cache_shrink is called
for the ones who are not yet dead - this will force internal cache
reorganization, and then all references to empty pages will be removed.
An unlikely branch is used to make sure this case does not affect
performance in the usual slab_free path.
The slab allocator has a time based reaper that would eventually get rid
of the objects, but we can also call it explicitly, since dead caches
are not a likely event.
[ v2: also call verify_dead for the slab ]
