Subject: [PATCH 2/4] memcg: reduce memory for the lruvec and memcg stats

At the moment, the amount of memory allocated for stats related structs
in the mem_cgroup corresponds to the size of enum node_stat_item.
However not all fields in enum node_stat_item has corresponding memcg
stats. The fields of enum node_stat_item is sorted in such a way that
all the fields with corresponding memcg stats are at the start of the
enum node_stat_item. So, let's just make an explicit  boundary within
enum node_stat_item and use that boundary to allocate memory for stats
related structs of memcgs.

For a given x86_64 config, the size of stats with and without patch is:

structs size in bytes         w/o     with

struct lruvec_stats           1128     648
struct lruvec_stats_percpu     752     432
struct memcg_vmstats          1832    1352
struct memcg_vmstats_percpu   1280     960

The memory savings is further compounded by the fact that these structs
are allocated for each cpu and for node. To be precise, for each memcg,
the memory saved would be:

Memory saved = ((21 * 3 * NR_NODES) + (21 * 2 * NR_NODS * NR_CPUS) +
               (21 * 3) + (21 * 2 * NR_CPUS)) * sizeof(long)

Where 21 is the number of fields eliminated.
