[PATCH v2 2/3] mm/memcg: use kmem_cache when alloc memcg pernode info

[Huan Yang <link@vivo.com>]

When tracing mem_cgroup_per_node allocations with kmalloc ftrace:

kmalloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1d8/0x5b4 ptr=00000000d798700c
    bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
    accounted=false

This reveals the slab allocator provides 4KB chunks for 2896B
mem_cgroup_per_node due to:

1. The slab allocator predefines bucket sizes from 64B to 8096B
2. The mem_cgroup allocation size (2312 bytes) falls between the 2KB and
   4KB slabs
3. The allocator rounds up to the nearest larger slab (4KB), resulting in
   ~1KB wasted memory per memcg alloc - per node.

This patch introduces a dedicated kmem_cache for mem_cgroup structs,
achieving precise memory allocation. Post-patch ftrace verification shows:

kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4
    ptr=000000002989e63a bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2944
    gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false

Each mem_cgroup_per_node alloc 2944 bytes(include hw cacheline align),
compare to 4KB, it avoid waste.
