[PATCH v2 07/21] mm: list_lru: optimize the array of per memcg lists memory consumption

[Muchun Song]

The list_lru use an array to store the list_lru_one pointers, which is
per-memcg per-node. What if we run 10k containers in the system? The
size of the array of every list_lru can be 10k * number_of_node *
sizeof(void *). The array size becomes very big, the more numa node
in the system, the more memory we consume. We can convert the array
to per memcg instead of per-memcg per-node. It can save memory
especially when there are many numa nodes in the system. And also
simplify the code.
