mm/slab_common.c: clear pointers to per memcg caches on destroy

Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the
memcg_params.memcg_caches array when a global cache is destroyed with
kmem_cache_destroy.

This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed.  However, a cache can
be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy
is called (due to a memory leak).  If this happens, the entries in the
array will point to already freed areas, which is likely to result in data
corruption when the cache is reused (via slab merging).
