memcg: kmem controller infrastructure

Introduce infrastructure for tracking kernel memory pages to a given
memcg.  This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag
__GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root.

In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors.  The idea
is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur any
overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used.

Users of this functionality shall interact with the memcg core code
through the following functions:

memcg_kmem_newpage_charge: will return true if the group can handle the
                           allocation. At this point, struct page is not
                           yet allocated.

memcg_kmem_commit_charge: will either revert the charge, if struct page
                          allocation failed, or embed memcg information
                          into page_cgroup.

memcg_kmem_uncharge_page: called at free time, will revert the charge.
