Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: MEMCG no longer works with SLOB

The change to move the kmem accounting into the normal memcg
code means we can no longer use memcg with slob, which lacks
the memcg_params member in its struct kmem_cache:

../mm/slab.h: In function 'is_root_cache':
../mm/slab.h:187:10: error: 'struct kmem_cache' has no member named 'memcg_params'

This enforces the new dependency in Kconfig. Alternatively,
we could change the slob code to allow using MEMCG.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Fixes: 6e6133536d82 ("mm: memcontrol: move kmem accounting code to CONFIG_MEMCG")
