[PATCH -mm v3 3/7] memcg, slab: separate memcg vs root cache creation paths

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Thu Feb 20 2014 - 02:22:24 EST


Memcg-awareness turned kmem_cache_create() into a dirty interweaving of
memcg-only and except-for-memcg calls. To clean this up, let's move
the code responsible for memcg cache creation to a separate function.
