Subject: [PATCH] mm/memcg: set memcg when splitting page

As described in the split_page() comment, for the non-compound high order
page, the sub-pages must be freed individually.  If the memcg of the first
page is valid, the tail pages cannot be uncharged when be freed.

For example, when alloc_pages_exact is used to allocate 1MB continuous
physical memory, 2MB is charged(kmemcg is enabled and __GFP_ACCOUNT is
set).  When make_alloc_exact free the unused 1MB and free_pages_exact free
the applied 1MB, actually, only 4KB(one page) is uncharged.

Therefore, the memcg of the tail page needs to be set when splitting a
page.

Michel:

There are at least two explicit users of __GFP_ACCOUNT with
alloc_exact_pages added recently.  See 7efe8ef274024 ("KVM: arm64:
Allocate stage-2 pgd pages with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT") and c419621873713
("KVM: s390: Add memcg accounting to KVM allocations"), so this is not
just a theoretical issue.

That's odd, I think what I'm sending here is the same as what you
had originally: maybe it was a build issue - if this one goes before
the other then its build would break, because it assumes the rename.
