[PATCH v2 04/11] kmem accounting basic infrastructure

[Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch adds the basic infrastructure for the accounting of the slab
caches. To control that, the following files are created:

 * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.failcnt
 * memory.kmem.max_usage_in_bytes

They have the same meaning of their user memory counterparts. They
reflect the state of the "kmem" res_counter.

The code is not enabled until a limit is set. This can be tested by the
flag "kmem_accounted". This means that after the patch is applied, no
behavioral changes exists for whoever is still using memcg to control
their memory usage.

We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters. This
effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the
limit is set to a lower value than the user memory. A equal or higher
value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem
is effectively unlimited.

People who want to track kernel memory but not limit it, can set this
limit to a very high number (like RESOURCE_MAX - 1page - that no one
will ever hit, or equal to the user memory)
