No, they are not freed (i.e. destroyed) on offlining, only
deactivated. All memcg kmem_caches are freed/destroyed on memcg's
css_free.

What about memcg_kmem_get_cache()? That function assumes that by
taking reference on memcg, it's kmem_caches will stay. I think you
need to get reference on the kmem_cache in memcg_kmem_get_cache()
within the rcu lock where you get the memcg through css_tryget_online.
