Glauber Costa 3afe36b1fe memcg: always free struct memcg through schedule_work()
Right now we free struct memcg with kfree right after a rcu grace period,
but defer it if we need to use vfree() to get rid of that memory area.  We
do that by need, because we need vfree to be called in a process context.

This patch unifies this behavior, by ensuring that even kfree will happen
in a separate thread.  The goal is to have a stable place to call the
upcoming jump label destruction function outside the realm of the
complicated and quite far-reaching cgroup lock (that can't be held when
holding either the cpu_hotplug.lock or jump_label_mutex)
