TCP_RR with big packets can show a regression as well.

I gave this perf profile:

    28.69%  [kernel]       [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
    16.13%  [kernel]       [k] intel_idle_irq
     6.46%  [kernel]       [k] page_counter_try_charge
     6.20%  [kernel]       [k] __sk_mem_reduce_allocated
     5.68%  [kernel]       [k] try_charge_memcg
     5.16%  [kernel]       [k] page_counter_cancel

And this points to false sharing on (struct page_counter *)->usage

I guess memcg had free lunch, because of per-socket cache, that we
need to remove.
