#1561142 — [PATCH 10/10] slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations

If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache
destruction work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and
tie up a lot of kworkers.

Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it
global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too.
While at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a
per-cpu one with concurrency limited to 1.  It's generally preferable
to use per-cpu workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough.

This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.
