[PATCH -mm 2/2] memcg: turn memcg_kmem_skip_account into a bit field

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Thu Nov 13 2014 - 04:13:30 EST


It isn't supposed to stack, so turn it into a bit-field to save 4 bytes
on the task_struct.

Also, remove the memcg_stop/resume_kmem_account helpers - it is clearer
to set/clear the flag inline. Regarding the overwhelming comment to the
helpers, which is removed by this patch too, we already have a compact
yet accurate explanation in memcg_schedule_cache_create, no need in yet
another one.
