[PATCH RFC 3/4] mm: kmem: prepare remote memcg charging infra for interrupt contexts

Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the
currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup
of the current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't
work for interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during
the execution of a section with an active memcg set, all allocations
inside the interrupt will be charged to the active memcg set (given
that we'll enable accounting for allocations from an interrupt
context). But because the interrupt might have no relation to the
active memcg set outside, it's obviously wrong from the accounting
prospective.

To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg
variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which
will be sued from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will
transparently use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending
on the context.

To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's
introduce two new functions:
- struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void),
- struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void).

They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all
implementation details: where to get it depending on the current context.
