I added MemoryMultiReporter recently (bug 934321) but now that the |name| property is gone from nsIMemoryReporter, it's actually more concise to use nsIMemoryReporter directly instead of MemoryMultiReporter.  Using nsIMemoryReporter also avoids the use of NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS_INHERITED<n>, which is nice.
It's just a better name, and more consistent with other such macros in the
codebase.

This is a nice simplification:

 26 files changed, 98 insertions(+), 129 deletions(-)

And if you exclude the removal of MemoryMultiReporter's declarations, it's
still a net reduction of 1 LOC!  So much for avoiding boilerplate.

Here's the recipe I used for each changed class.

- Inherit from nsIMemoryReporter instead of MemoryMultiReporter.

- Possibly change NS_DECL_ISUPPORTS to NS_DECL_THREADSAFE_ISUPPORTS (just being
  extra cautious).

- If CollectReports() isn't defined inline, add NS_DECL_NSIMEMORYREPORTER to
  the class decl, and remove CollectReports() from the class decl.

- Delete the constructor if it's a no-op.

- Replace NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS_INHERITED<n> with NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS<n+1>, or add
  NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS1 if necessary.

- If the reporter uses |MallocSizeOf|, add a MOZ_DEFINE_MALLOC_SIZE_OF as
  necessary.

(part 1) - Rename NS_MEMORY_REPORTER_MALLOC_SIZEOF_FUN as MOZ_DEFINE_MALLOC_SIZE_OF.

super nit: an -> a. Or just remove "an".

Why are you making everything threadsafe?

> Why are you making everything threadsafe?

A small number of reporters need to be threadsafe.  So MemoryUniReporter and MemoryMultiReporter are threadsafe -- i.e. have NS_DECL_THREADSAFE_ISUPPORTS.  I can't remember now which multi-reporters needed thread safety, and I'm lazy, and reporter addref/releases are uncommon, so I'm just playing it safe.

I could do the required archaeology to work out which ones need it and which don't, if you think it's important.

(part 2) - Remove MemoryMultiReporter, because it's no longer helpful.

I guess it isn't a huge deal, it is just confusing for anybody reading the classes.  I noted a few instances of things I think aren't multithreaded that you might as well just flip back.  If a header doesn't contain THREADSAFE anywhere else, it might be ok.  I'd assume thread errors would show up in a debug try run, so a few mistakes won't be too costly.

Preference service is mainthread only, so this shouldn't need to be threadsafe.
