Patch series "The new cgroup slab memory controller", v7.

The patchset moves the accounting from the page level to the object level.
It allows to share slab pages between memory cgroups.  This leads to a
significant win in the slab utilization (up to 45%) and the corresponding
drop in the total kernel memory footprint.  The reduced number of
unmovable slab pages should also have a positive effect on the memory
fragmentation.

The patchset makes the slab accounting code simpler: there is no more need
in the complicated dynamic creation and destruction of per-cgroup slab
caches, all memory cgroups use a global set of shared slab caches.  The
lifetime of slab caches is not more connected to the lifetime of memory
cgroups.

The more precise accounting does require more CPU, however in practice the
difference seems to be negligible.  We've been using the new slab
controller in Facebook production for several months with different
workloads and haven't seen any noticeable regressions.  What we've seen
were memory savings in order of 1 GB per host (it varied heavily depending
on the actual workload, size of RAM, number of CPUs, memory pressure,
etc).

The third version of the patchset added yet another step towards the
simplification of the code: sharing of slab caches between accounted and
non-accounted allocations.  It comes with significant upsides (most
noticeable, a complete elimination of dynamic slab caches creation) but
not without some regression risks, so this change sits on top of the
patchset and is not completely merged in.  So in the unlikely event of a
noticeable performance regression it can be reverted separately.

The slab memory accounting works in exactly the same way for SLAB and
SLUB.  With both allocators the new controller shows significant memory
savings, with SLUB the difference is bigger.  On my 16-core desktop
machine running Fedora 32 the size of the slab memory measured after the
start of the system was lower by 58% and 38% with SLUB and SLAB
correspondingly.

As an estimation of a potential CPU overhead, below are results of
slab_bulk_test01 test, kindly provided by Jesper D.  Brouer.  He also
helped with the evaluation of results.

This patch (of 19):

To convert memcg and lruvec slab counters to bytes there must be a way to
change these counters without touching node counters.  Factor out
__mod_memcg_lruvec_state() out of __mod_lruvec_state().
