memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline

Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which
uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists.  However, it can
be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline
cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to
the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's
list to the one of its parent.  It will work, because a racing
list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element
from.  It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing
reparenting will fix it.  After list_lru reparenting is done we are free
to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new
cgroups.
