Subject: mm: memcg/slab: fix root memcg vmstats

If we reparent the slab objects to the root memcg, when we free the slab
object, we need to update the per-memcg vmstats to keep it correct for the
root memcg.  Now this at least affects the vmstat of NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB
for !CONFIG_VMAP_STACK when the thread stack size is smaller than the
PAGE_SIZE.

David said: "I assume that without this fix that the root memcg's
vmstat would always be inflated if we reparented."
