memcg: unify memcg stat flushing
The memcg stats can be flushed in multiple context and potentially in parallel too. For example multiple parallel user space readers for memcg stats will contend on the rstat locks with each other. There is no need for that. We just need one flusher and everyone else can benefit. In addition after aa48e47e ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats") the kernel periodically flush the memcg stats from the root, so, the other flushers will potentially have much less work to do.
