On large machines there can be thousands of memcgs and potentially
each memcg can have hundreds of kmem caches. So, the slab_mutex can be
held for a very long time.

Our internal implementation traverses the memcg tree and then
traverses 'memcg->kmem_caches' within the slab_mutex (and
cond_resched() after unlock).

Please note that Roman's kmem cache reparenting patch series have made
kmem caches of zombie memcgs a bit tricky. On memcg offlining the
memcg kmem caches are reparented and the css->id can get recycled. So,
we want to know that the a kmem cache is reparented and which memcg it
belonged to initially. Determining if a kmem cache is reparented, we
can store a flag on the kmem cache and for the previous memcg we can
use fhandle. However to not make this more complicated, for now, we
can just have the info that the kmem cache was reparented i.e. belongs
to an offlined memcg.
