memcg: unify sync and async per-cpu charge cache draining

Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy.  Targeted async
draining has been introduced by d0bf7742 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.

sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy).  Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.

This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode.  We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered.  Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.
