The change to move the kmem accounting into the normal memcg
code means we can no longer use memcg with slob, which lacks
the memcg_params member in its struct kmem_cache:

../mm/slab.h: In function 'is_root_cache':
../mm/slab.h:187:10: error: 'struct kmem_cache' has no member named 'memcg_params'

This enforces the new dependency in Kconfig. Alternatively,
we could change the slob code to allow using MEMCG.
I'm curious, was this a random config or do you actually use
CONFIG_SLOB && CONFIG_MEMCG?
Just a randconfig build, I do a lot of those to check for ARM specific
regressions.

This was my first approach to the problem, and it solves the build issues,
I just wasn't sure if it works as expected.
