Subject: [PATCH 5/6] memcg: make mem_cgroup_reparent_charges non failing

Now that pre_destroy callbacks are called from within cgroup_lock and
the cgroup has been checked to be empty without any children then there
is no other way to fail.
mem_cgroup_pre_destroy doesn't have to take a reference to memcg's css
because all css' are marked dead already.
