Subject: [PATCH] memcg: reduce size of per-cpu-stat to be appropriate size.

How about this one ?
tested on x86-64 + mmotm-Nov10, works well. 
(test on other arch is welcome.)

-Kame
==
As  Jan Blunck <jblunck@...e.de> pointed out, allocating
per-cpu stat for memcg to the size of NR_CPUS is not good.

This patch changes mem_cgroup's cpustat allocation not based
on NR_CPUS but based on nr_cpu_ids.
