Subject: mm: memcg/slab: don't check the dying flag on kmem_cache creation
There is no point in checking the root_cache->memcg_params.dying flag on
kmem_cache creation path. New allocations shouldn't be performed using a
dead root kmem_cache, so no new memcg kmem_cache creation can be scheduled
after the flag is set. And if it was scheduled before,
flush_memcg_workqueue() will wait for it anyway.
So let's drop this check to simplify the code.
