It should be mentioned that we still call memcg_update_array_size()
(defined at memcontrol.c) from memcg_update_all_caches()
(slab_common.c), because we must hold the slab_mutex while updating
memcg_limited_groups_array_size. However, I'm going to remove this
requirement and get rid of memcg_update_array_size() too. This is what
"[PATCH -mm 10/14] memcg: add rwsem to sync against memcg_caches arrays
relocation", which is a part of my "Per memcg slab shrinkers" patch set,
does.

Thanks,
Vladimir
