[PATCH] mm/slab_common: use SLAB_NO_MERGE instead of negative refcount

[Vlastimil Babka]

When CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is enabled, we disable cache merging for
KMALLOC_NORMAL so they don't end up merged with a cache that uses ad-hoc
__GFP_ACCOUNT. This was implemented by setting refcount to -1, but now
we have a proper SLAB_NO_MERGE flag, so use that instead.
