[PATCH -mm 07/14] memcg: update memcg_caches array entries on the slab side

[Vladimir Davydov]

I think that all manipulations on memcg_caches array must happen where
it is defined, i.e. on the slab side. The array allocation and
relocation paths as well as elements access follow this pattern (see
e.g. cache_from_memcg_idx, memcg_update_all_caches), but elements update
doesn't. We still want to setup new array elements in memcontrol.c (see
memcg_{un,}register_cache), though it may change in the future. Anyway,
let's introduce a simple function for updating the array entries,
cache_install_at_memcg_idx, to match cache_from_memcg_idx.
