Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm: memcontrol: flush percpu slab vmstats on kmem offlining

I've noticed that the "slab" value in memory.stat is sometimes 0,
even if some children memory cgroups have a non-zero "slab" value.
The following investigation showed that this is the result
of the kmem_cache reparenting in combination with the per-cpu
batching of slab vmstats.

At the offlining some vmstat value may leave in the percpu cache,
not being propagated upwards by the cgroup hierarchy. It means
that stats on ancestor levels are lower than actual. Later when
slab pages are released, the precise number of pages is substracted
on the parent level, making the value negative. We don't show negative
values, 0 is printed instead.

To fix this issue, let's flush percpu slab memcg and lruvec stats
on memcg offlining. This guarantees that numbers on all ancestor
levels are accurate and match the actual number of outstanding
slab pages.

Fixes: fb2f2b0adb98 ("mm: memcg/slab: reparent memcg kmem_caches on cgroup removal")
