doc: memcontrol: fix the obsolete content about force empty
We don't do page cache reparent anymore when offlining memcg, so update force empty related content accordingly.

The typical use case for this interface is before calling rmdir().

Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be

Though rmdir() offlines memcg, but the memcg may still stay there due to

memory pressure happens. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful.
