[PATCH v2] selftests: cgroup: fix test_kmem_memcg_deletion kernel mem check

From: Lucas Karpinski
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 08:49:22 EST


The combination of using slab, anon, file, kernel_stack, and percpu is
not accurate for total kernel memory utilization. Checking kernel within
memory.stat provides a more accurate measurement.
