[PATCH -mm 1/2] memcg: get rid of memcg_create_cache_name

[Vladimir Davydov]

Instead of calling back to memcontrol.c from kmem_cache_create_memcg in
order to just create the name of a per memcg cache, let's allocate it in
place. We only need to pass the memcg name to kmem_cache_create_memcg
for that - everything else can be done in slab_common.c.

Initially this was a part of "memcg/kmem: cleanup naming and callflows"
patch set (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/27/345).
