mm: memcontrol: use obj_cgroup APIs to charge kmem pages

Since Roman's series "The new cgroup slab memory controller" applied.
All slab objects are charged via the new APIs of obj_cgroup.  The new
APIs introduce a struct obj_cgroup to charge slab objects.  It prevents
long-living objects from pinning the original memory cgroup in the
memory.  But there are still some corner objects (e.g.  allocations
larger than order-1 page on SLUB) which are not charged via the new
APIs.  Those objects (include the pages which are allocated from buddy
allocator directly) are charged as kmem pages which still hold a
reference to the memory cgroup.

We want to reuse the obj_cgroup APIs to charge the kmem pages.  If we do
that, we should store an object cgroup pointer to page->memcg_data for
the kmem pages.

Finally, page->memcg_data will have 3 different meanings.

  1) For the slab pages, page->memcg_data points to an object cgroups
     vector.

  2) For the kmem pages (exclude the slab pages), page->memcg_data
     points to an object cgroup.

  3) For the user pages (e.g. the LRU pages), page->memcg_data points
     to a memory cgroup.

We do not change the behavior of page_memcg() and page_memcg_rcu().  They
are also suitable for LRU pages and kmem pages.  Why?

Because memory allocations pinning memcgs for a long time - it exists at a
larger scale and is causing recurring problems in the real world: page
cache doesn't get reclaimed for a long time, or is used by the second,
third, fourth, ...  instance of the same job that was restarted into a new
cgroup every time.  Unreclaimable dying cgroups pile up, waste memory, and
make page reclaim very inefficient.

We can convert LRU pages and most other raw memcg pins to the objcg
direction to fix this problem, and then the page->memcg will always point
to an object cgroup pointer.  At that time, LRU pages and kmem pages will
be treated the same.  The implementation of page_memcg() will remove the
kmem page check.

This patch aims to charge the kmem pages by using the new APIs of
obj_cgroup.  Finally, the page->memcg_data of the kmem page points to an
object cgroup.  We can use the __page_objcg() to get the object cgroup
associated with a kmem page.  Or we can use page_memcg() to get the memory
cgroup associated with a kmem page, but caller must ensure that the
returned memcg won't be released (e.g.  acquire the rcu_read_lock or
css_set_lock).
