[PATCH v3 0/8] memcg: reduce memory consumption by memcg stats

[Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev>]

Most of the memory overhead of a memcg object is due to memcg stats
maintained by the kernel. Since stats updates happen in performance
critical codepaths, the stats are maintained per-cpu and numa specific
stats are maintained per-node * per-cpu. This drastically increase the
overhead on large machines i.e. large of CPUs and multiple numa nodes.
This patch series tries to reduce the overhead by at least not
allocating the memory for stats which are not memcg specific.

Changelog since v2:
Using WARN_ONCE() instead of pr_warn_once() and some changes commit log
changes. Also included a patch from Roman.

Changelog since v1:
The main change from the v1 is the indirection approach used in this
patchset instead of rearranging the members of node_stat_item.
