mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all allocations

Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and
non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted
allocations, we can use just one.

The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on
demand and filled only for accounted allocations.

It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache
clones for accounted allocations.  There is no more need to create them,
accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc.  It's a quite
significant simplification.

Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not
all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are
expected.  On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.
