Subject: memcg: don't initialize kmem-cache destroying work for root caches
From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f101a9464bfbda42730b54a66f926d75ed2cd31e upstream.
struct memcg_cache_params has a union. Different parts of this union
are used for root and non-root caches. A part with destroying work is
used only for non-root caches.
