mm: memcontrol: rename memcg_kmem_enabled()

Currently there are two kmem-related helper functions with a confusing
semantics: memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled().

The problem is that an obvious expectation
memcg_kmem_enabled() == !mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(),
can be false.

mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled() is similar to mem_cgroup_disabled(): it returns
true only if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not set or the kmem accounting is
disabled using a boot time kernel option "cgroup.memory=nokmem".  It never
changes the value dynamically.

memcg_kmem_enabled() is different: it always returns false until the first
non-root memory cgroup will get online (assuming the kernel memory
accounting is enabled).  It's goal is to improve the performance on
systems without the cgroupfs mounted/memory controller enabled or on the
systems with only the root memory cgroup.

To make things more obvious and avoid potential bugs, let's rename
memcg_kmem_enabled() to memcg_kmem_online().
