Glauber Costa 55007d8497 memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears
Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.

Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.

What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.

We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
limit is reached.

Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
mechanism.
