Subject: mm: memcg/slab: disable cache merging for KMALLOC_NORMAL caches
The KMALLOC_NORMAL (kmalloc-<n>) caches are for unaccounted objects only
when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is enabled. To make sure that this condition
remains true, we will have to prevent KMALOC_NORMAL caches to merge with
other kmem caches. This is now done by setting its refcount to -1 right
after its creation.
