[PATCH v3 2/3] mm/memcg: use kmem_cache when alloc memcg

[Huan Yang <link@vivo.com>]

When tracing mem_cgroup_alloc() with kmalloc ftrace, we observe:

kmalloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xd8/0x5b4 ptr=000000003e4c3799
    bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
    accounted=false

The output indicates that while allocating mem_cgroup struct (2312 bytes),
the slab allocator actually provides 4096-byte chunks. This occurs because:

1. The slab allocator predefines bucket sizes from 64B to 8096B
2. The mem_cgroup allocation size (2312B) falls between the 2KB and 4KB
   slabs
3. The allocator rounds up to the nearest larger slab (4KB), resulting in
   ~1KB wasted memory per allocation

This patch introduces a dedicated kmem_cache for mem_cgroup structs,
achieving precise memory allocation. Post-patch ftrace verification shows:

kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4
    ptr=00000000695c1806 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2368
    gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false

Each memcg alloc offer 2368bytes(include hw cacheline align), compare to
4096, avoid waste.
