Subject: [PATCH mm v4 9/9] memcg: enable accounting for perpu allocation of
 struct rt_rq

If enabled in config, alloc_rt_sched_group() is called for each new
cpu cgroup and allocates a huge (~1700 bytes) percpu struct rt_rq.
This significantly exceeds the size of the percpu allocation in the
common part of cgroup creation.

Memory allocated during new cpu cgroup creation
(with enabled RT_GROUP_SCHED):
common part:    ~11Kb   +   318 bytes percpu
cpu cgroup:     ~2.5Kb  + ~2800 bytes percpu

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