Subject: [PATCH] use vmalloc for mem_cgroup allocation. v3

Tested on ia64/NUMA and x86/smp.
==
On ia64, this kmalloc() requires order-4 pages. But this is not
necessary to be phisically contiguous. 
For big mem_cgroup, vmalloc is better. For small ones, kmalloc is used.


Changelog: v2->v3
 - fixed the place of memset.
 - added mem_cgroup_alloc()/free()
 - use kmalloc if mem_cgroup is enough small.
Changelog: v1->v2
 - added memset().
