[PATCH RFC 4/4] mm: kmem: enable kernel memcg accounting from interrupt contexts

If a memcg to charge can be determined (using remote charging API),
there are no reasons to exclude allocations made from an interrupt
context from the accounting.

Such allocations will pass even if the resulting memcg size will
exceed the hard limit, but it will affect the application of the
memory pressure and an inability to put the workload under the limit
will eventually trigger the OOM.

To use active_memcg() helper, memcg_kmem_bypass() is moved back
to memcontrol.c.
