The root cgroup cannot be destroyed so we never hit it idown the
mem_cgroup_pre_destroy path and mem_cgroup_force_empty_write shouldn't
even try to do anything if called for the root.

This means that mem_cgroup_move_parent doesn't have to bother with the
root cgroup and it can assume it can always move charges upwards.
