[PATCH v6 01/11] mm: memcontrol: remove dead code and comments

[Muchun Song]

Since no-hierarchy mode is deprecated after

  commit bef8620cd8e0 ("mm: memcg: deprecate the non-hierarchical mode")

so parent_mem_cgroup() cannot return a NULL except root memcg, however, root
memcg cannot be offline, so it is safe to drop the check of returned value
of parent_mem_cgroup().  Remove those dead code.

The comments in memcg_offline_kmem() above memcg_reparent_list_lrus() are
out of date since

  commit 5abc1e37afa0 ("mm: list_lru: allocate list_lru_one only when needed")

There is no ordering requirement between memcg_reparent_list_lrus() and
memcg_reparent_objcgs(), so remove those outdated comments.
