I find the terms parent / child / sibling a bit confusing. It usually
implies proper tree structure. Maybe we can use better terms which
reflect the single layer structure better?
And, again, in general, please add some comments. If someone tries to
understand this for the first time and takes a look at
mem_cgroup_cache_params, there's almost nothing to guide that person.
What's the struct for? What does each field do? What are the
synchronization rules?

list_del_init() please.
Thanks.
