[PATCH 2/9] mm: memcontrol: remove kmemcg_id reparenting

[Muchun Song]

Since slab objects and kmem pages are charged to object cgroup instead
of memory cgroup, memcg_reparent_objcgs() will reparent this cgroup and
all its descendants to the parent cgroup. It means that the new parent
memory cgroup can be returned by mem_cgroup_from_obj() which is called
from list_lru_from_kmem(). This can make further list_lru_add()'s add
elements to the parent's list. So we do not need to change kmemcg_id
of an offline cgroup to its parent's id. This is just waste CPU cycles.
Just remove those redundant code.
