Subject: [PATCH memcg RFC] net: set proper memcg for net_init hooks
 allocations

__register_pernet_operations() executes init hook of registered
pernet_operation structure in all existing net namespaces.

Typically, these hooks are called by a process associated with
the specified net namespace, and all __GFP_ACCOUNTING marked
allocation are accounted for corresponding container/memcg.

However __register_pernet_operations() calls the hooks in the same
context, and as a result all marked allocations are accounted
to one memcg for all processed net namespaces.

This patch adjusts active memcg for each net namespace and helps
to account memory allocated inside ops_init() into the proper memcg.

Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@...nvz.org>

Dear Vlastimil, Roman,
I'm not sure that memcg is used correctly here, 
is it perhaps some additional locking required?
