If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction
work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of
kworkers.

Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it
global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too.  While
at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one
with concurrency limited to 1.  It's generally preferable to use per-cpu
workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough.

This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.
