[PATCH v2 2/5] mm: kmem: add direct objcg pointer to task_struct

[Roman Gushchin]

To charge a freshly allocated kernel object to a memory cgroup, the
kernel needs to obtain an objcg pointer. Currently it does it
indirectly by obtaining the memcg pointer first and then calling to
__get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg().

Usually tasks spend their entire life belonging to the same object
cgroup. So it makes sense to save the objcg pointer on task_struct
directly, so it can be obtained faster. It requires some work on fork,
exit and cgroup migrate paths, but these paths are way colder.

To avoid any costly synchronization the following rules are applied:
1) A task sets it's objcg pointer itself.

2) If a task is being migrated to another cgroup, the least
   significant bit of the objcg pointer is set atomically.

3) On the allocation path the objcg pointer is obtained locklessly
   using the READ_ONCE() macro and the least significant bit is
   checked. If it's set, the following procedure is used to update
   it locklessly:
       - task->objcg is zeroed using cmpxcg
       - new objcg pointer is obtained
       - task->objcg is updated using try_cmpxchg
       - operation is repeated if try_cmpxcg fails
   It guarantees that no updates will be lost if task migration
   is racing against objcg pointer update. It also allows to keep
   both read and write paths fully lockless.

Because the task is keeping a reference to the objcg, it can't go away
while the task is alive.

This commit doesn't change the way the remote memcg charging works.
