memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline
Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists. However, it can be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's list to the one of its parent. It will work, because a racing list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element from. It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing reparenting will fix it. After list_lru reparenting is done we are free to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new cgroups.
