Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of
memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more
need for a dedicated workqueue.
Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the
memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to
just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic
allocation of the work structure.
This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache
there is only one work. So there will be no more concurrent attempts to
create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all
following attempts to queue the work will fail.
On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the
expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished.
Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work.
