mm: kmem: move memcg_kmem_bypass() calls to get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current()



Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context".

This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made
from an interrupt context.

Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because
charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option.  Also
performance reasons were likely a reason too.

The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently
active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards
some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current
process.

This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from
an interrupt context.  Then it removes the fence that prevented the
accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context.  It also
contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings.

This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific
allocations, but prepares the code base for it.  The bpf memory accounting
will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program
parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap
map to store some information.

This patch (of 4):

Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current
memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current().  Moving
memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the
number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.
