Subject: memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes

The deprecation process of kmem.limit_in_bytes started with the commit
0158115f702 ("memcg, kmem: deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes") which also
explains in detail the motivation behind the deprecation. To summarize,
it is the unexpected behavior on hitting the kmem limit. This patch moves
the deprecation process to the next stage by disallowing to set the kmem
limit. In future we might just remove the kmem.limit_in_bytes file
completely.
