Subject: [PATCH mm v3 7/9] memcg: enable accounting for large allocations in
 mem_cgroup_css_alloc

Creation of each memory cgroup allocates few huge objects in
mem_cgroup_css_alloc(). Its size exceeds the size of memory
accounted in common part of cgroup creation:

common part: 	~11Kb	+  318 bytes percpu
memcg: 		~17Kb	+ 4692 bytes percpu

memory:
------
Allocs  Alloc   $1*$2   Sum     Allocation
number  size
--------------------------------------------
1   +   8192    8192    8192    (mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x4a) <NB
14  ~   352     4928    13120   KERNFS
1   +   2048    2048    15168   (mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xdd) <NB
1       1024    1024    16192   (alloc_shrinker_info+0x79)
1       584     584     16776   (radix_tree_node_alloc.constprop.0+0x89)
2       64      128     16904   (percpu_ref_init+0x6a)
1       64      64      16968   (mem_cgroup_css_online+0x32)

1   =   3684    3684    3684    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x9e
1   =   984     984     4668    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xfd
2       12      24      4692    call_site=percpu_ref_init+0x23

     '=' -- already accounted,
     '+' -- to be accounted,
     '~' -- partially accounted

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