Subject: [PATCH] Dynamically allocate struct mem_cgroup_stat_cpu memory

When increasing NR_CPUS to 4096 the size of struct mem_cgroup is growing to
507904 bytes per instance on x86_64. This patch changes the allocation of
struct mem_cgroup_stat_cpu to be based on the number of configured CPUs during
boot time. The init_mem_cgroup still is that huge since it stays statically
allocated and therefore uses the compile-time maximum.
