memcg/sl[au]b: shrink dead caches
This means that when we destroy a memcg cache that happened to be empty,
those caches may take a lot of time to go away: removing the memcg
reference won't destroy them - because there are pending references, and
the empty pages will stay there, until a shrinker is called upon for any
reason.

In this patch, we will call kmem_cache_shrink() for all dead caches that
cannot be destroyed because of remaining pages.  After shrinking, it is
possible that it could be freed.  If this is not the case, we'll schedule
a lazy worker to keep trying.
