Subject: [PATCH mm v2 8/9] memcg: enable accounting for allocations in
 alloc_fair_sched_group

Creating of each new cpu cgroup allocates two 512-bytes kernel objects
per CPU. This is especially important for cgroups shared parent memory
cgroup. In this scenario, on nodes with multiple processors, these
allocations become one of the main memory consumers.

Memory allocated during new cpu cgroup creation:
common part: 	~11Kb	+  318 bytes percpu
cpu cgroup:	~2.5Kb	+ 1036 bytes percpu

Accounting for this memory helps to avoid misuse inside memcg-limited
contianers.
