Subject: [PATCH] memcg: Add kmem.slabinfo to v2 for debugging purpose

With memory cgroup v1, there is a kmem.slabinfo file that can be
used to view what slabs are allocated to the memory cgroup. There
is currently no such equivalent in memory cgroup v2. This file can
be useful for debugging purpose.

This patch adds an equivalent kmem.slabinfo to v2 with the caveat that
this file will only show up as ".__DEBUG__.memory.kmem.slabinfo" when the
"cgroup_debug" parameter is specified in the kernel boot command line.
This is to avoid cluttering the cgroup v2 interface with files that
are seldom used by end users.
