memcg, slab: fix races in per-memcg cache creation/destruction

We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an
entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array.  If we find
no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache
creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()).  The cache creation proceeds
asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock
clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same
kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed.  However, due
to a race in the code, it is not always true.  The point is that the
memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for
a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()).  If
memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed
concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache.

Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache.  One of them
successfully creates it.  Another one should fail then, but if
memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as
follows, it won't:

  memcg_create_kmem_cache()             memcg_update_cache_size()
  (called w/o mutexes held)             (called with slab_mutex,
                                         set_limit_mutex held)
  -------------------------             -------------------------

  mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

                                        s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...)

  new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx)
  // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation

                                        s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i]
                                            =cur_params->memcg_caches[i]

  // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex
  // so we will hang around until
  // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but
  // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so
  // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in
  // memcg_register_cache!

  new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...)
  mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to
kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it
return NULL if so.

A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see
kmem_cache_destroy()).  Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the
pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race
with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer.  Therefore
memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the
slab_mutex.
