Vladimir Davydov a44cb94491 memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches
When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.

Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.

The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.

So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.
