Subject: [PATCH] epoll: account epitem and eppoll_entry to kmemcg

The user space application can directly trigger the allocations
from eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs. A buggy or malicious
application can consume a significant amount of system memory by
triggering such allocations. Indeed we have seen in production
where a buggy application was leaking the epoll references and
causing a burst of eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slab
allocations. This patch opt-in the charging of eventpoll_epi
and eventpoll_pwq slabs.
