mm: memcontrol: enable kmem accounting for all cgroups in the legacy hierarchy

Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker
is still global.  As a result, one small cgroup can consume all memory
available for shadow nodes, possibly hurting other cgroups by reclaiming
their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow
nodes have no effect.  To avoid this, we need to make shadow node
shrinker memcg aware.

The actual work is done in patch 6 of the series.  Patches 1 and 2
prepare memcg/shrinker infrastructure for the change.  Patch 3 is just a
collateral cleanup.  Patch 4 makes radix_tree_node accounted, which is
necessary for making shadow node shrinker memcg aware.  Patch 5 reduces
shadow nodes overhead in case workload mostly uses anonymous pages.

This patch:

Currently, in the legacy hierarchy kmem accounting is off for all
cgroups by default and must be enabled explicitly by writing something
to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes.  Since we don't support reclaim on
hitting kmem limit, nor do we have any plans to implement it, this is
likely to be -1, just to enable kmem accounting and limit kernel memory
consumption by the memory.limit_in_bytes along with user memory.

This user API was introduced when the implementation of kmem accounting
lacked slab shrinker support and hence was useless in practice.  Things
have changed since then - slab shrinkers were made memcg aware, the
accounting overhead seems to be negligible, and a failure to charge a
kmem allocation should not have critical consequences, because we only
account those kernel objects that should be safe to fail.  That's why
kmem accounting is enabled by default for all cgroups in the default
hierarchy, which will eventually replace the legacy one.

The ability to enable kmem accounting for some cgroups while keeping it
disabled for others is getting difficult to maintain.  E.g.  to make
shadow node shrinker memcg aware (see mm/workingset.c), we need to know
the relationship between the number of shadow nodes allocated for a
cgroup and the size of its lru list.  If kmem accounting is enabled for
all cgroups there is no problem, but what should we do if kmem
accounting is enabled only for half of cgroups? We've no other choice
but use global lru stats while scanning root cgroup's shadow nodes, but
that would be wrong if kmem accounting was enabled for all cgroups
(which is the case if the unified hierarchy is used), in which case we
should use lru stats of the root cgroup's lruvec.

That being said, let's enable kmem accounting for all memory cgroups by
default.  If one finds it unstable or too costly, it can always be
disabled system-wide by passing cgroup.memory=nokmem to the kernel at
boot time.
