[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: simplify memcg idr allocation and error unwinding

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Mon Jul 30 2018 - 11:03:55 EST


The memcg ID is allocated early in the multi-step memcg creation
process, which needs 2-step ID allocation and IDR publishing, as well
as two separate IDR cleanup/unwind sites on error.

Defer the IDR allocation until the last second during onlining to
eliminate all this complexity. There is no requirement to have the ID
and IDR entry earlier than that. And the root reference to the ID is
put in the offline path, so this matches nicely.
