Hmm, that bloats the kernel also for users who are not using cgroup2
and have CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM disabled.

This is the situation before this patch
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 521342   97516   44312  663170   a1e82 mm/built-in.o.kmem
 513349   96299   43960  653608   9f928 mm/built-in.o.nokmem

and after with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n

 521028   96556   44312  661896   a1988 mm/built-in.o

we are basically back to CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y. This sounds like a wastage
to me. Do we really need this?
