[PATCH 07/11] mm: Allocate kernel pages to the right memcg

[Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com>]

When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag,
the page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to
validate the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.

To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would
necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no
reason, whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag
is responsible for telling the page allocator that this is such an
allocation at free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of
__free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().
