memcg: add rwsem to synchronize against memcg_caches arrays relocation
We need a stable value of memcg_nr_cache_ids in kmem_cache_create()
(memcg_alloc_cache_params() wants it for root caches), where we only
hold the slab_mutex and no memcg-related locks. As a result, we have to
update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take
on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size). This looks awkward
and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which
also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids.
To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the
slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem. The rwsem is held
for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids
updates. Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access
to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids.
Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from
kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now
there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex. However, once
list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to
proceed concurrently.
