Subject: [PATCH 2/9] memcg : reduce size of mem_cgroup by using nr_cpu_ids.

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.

Changelog:
 - fixed bugs in error path.
