Subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] mm/memcg: Optimize user context object stock access

Most kmem_cache_alloc() calls are from user context. With instrumentation
enabled, the measured amount of kmem_cache_alloc() calls from non-task
context was about 0.01% of the total.

The irq disable/enable sequence used in this case to access content
from object stock is slow.  To optimize for user context access, there
are now two sets of object stocks (in the new obj_stock structure)
for task context and interrupt context access respectively.

The task context object stock can be accessed after disabling preemption
which is cheap in non-preempt kernel. The interrupt context object stock
can only be accessed after disabling interrupt. User context code can
access interrupt object stock, but not vice versa.

The downside of this change is that there are more data stored in local
object stocks and not reflected in the charge counter and the vmstat
arrays.  However, this is a small price to pay for better performance.
