Subject: [ 21/48] memcg: dont initialize kmem-cache destroying work for root caches

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@...nvz.org>

commit f101a9464bfbda42730b54a66f926d75ed2cd31e upstream.

struct memcg_cache_params has a union.  Different parts of this union
are used for root and non-root caches.  A part with destroying work is
used only for non-root caches.
