[PATCH mm v3 1/9] memcg: enable accounting for struct cgroup

[Vasily Averin <vvs@openvz.org>]

Creating each new cgroup allocates 4Kb for struct cgroup. This is the
largest memory allocation in this scenario and is epecially important
for small VMs with 1-2 CPUs.

Common part of the cgroup creation:
Allocs  Alloc   $1*$2   Sum     Allocation
number  size
--------------------------------------------
16  ~   352     5632    5632    KERNFS
1   +   4096    4096    9728    (cgroup_mkdir+0xe4)
1       584     584     10312   (radix_tree_node_alloc.constprop.0+0x89)

1       64      64      10840   (memcg_list_lru_alloc+0x21a)
percpu:
1   +   192     192     192     call_site=psi_cgroup_alloc+0x1e
1   +   96      96      288     call_site=cgroup_rstat_init+0x5f
2       12      24      312     call_site=percpu_ref_init+0x23
1       6       6       318     call_site=__percpu_counter_init+0x22

 '+' -- to be accounted,
 '~' -- partially accounted

Accounting of this memory helps to avoid misuse inside memcg-limited
containers.
