The charged quantities are smaller than a page, so we have to use the
byte interface.

The byte interface (objcg) was written for slab originally, hence the
link to the kmem option. But note that CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is no longer
a user-visible option, and for all intents and purposes a fixed part
of CONFIG_MEMCG.

(There is the SLOB quirk. But I'm not sure anybody uses slob, let
alone slob + memcg.)
