[PATCH -mm v3 1/8] memcg: cleanup memcg_cache_params refcnt usage

[Vladimir Davydov]

Currently, we count the number of pages allocated to a per memcg cache
in memcg_cache_params->nr_pages. We only use this counter to find out if
the cache is empty and can be destroyed. So let's rename it to refcnt
and make it count not pages, but slabs so that we can use atomic_inc/dec
instead of atomic_add/sub in memcg_charge/uncharge_slab.

Also, as the number of slabs theoretically can be greater than INT_MAX,
let's use atomic_long for the counter.
