memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases
Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:
kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects
CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117
Call Trace:

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.
This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.
