So it looks like the regression is caused by false cacheline sharing of
two or more hot items in mem_cgroup. As the size of the page_counter is
112 bytes, eliminating one counter will shift down the cacheline
boundary by 16 bytes. We probably need to use perf to find out what
those hot items are for this particular benchmark.
