Nit: you don't need to check CONFIG_SLOB here as this code is under
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM which depends on !SLOB.

Other than that, the patch looks good to me, provided using rcu for slab
deactivation proves to be really necessary, although I'd split it in two
patches - one doing renaming another refactoring - easier to review that
way.
